Hence with the new freedom of mobility, the blind will now able to explore and be more self-dependent.

Hello and Salam..... My name is Robest Yong. I have been an avid inventor for a long long time and I have been successful with several inventions, patents and awards. I had the concept of this Mobility-Cane for some time already but due to the lack of fund and the intra-fracture required, the idea had to be put on hold. The YTL's USD $ 1 Million Challenge with a stake prize money had given new life to this project.

The first phase of judging is done by popular votes. This is where I need you to vote for me.

I also hope that you would kindly leave a kind comment on my page and then to ask your friends and relatives for their support to vote for me as well.We have seen some people so willingly sending and forwarding all those 'chain-emails' to spread good fortune and well wishes, I hope that they will do it for a good cause too.

My friends, I plead for your support to make this dream a reality. It doesn't cost you a single cent to put in your vote. I wish to see a million votes supporting this invention so that we can persuade YTL Corporations to undertake this project  for the betterment of the lives of the blinds in Malaysia and the world.

Your one vote may change the lives of the blind person for the better. With such an invention, they will be able to move around more conveniently, safely and confidently. They will now be able to have more opportunities for greater participation, involvement and integration into society.
