Nurosimah Jumat who has vision difficulties and Brenda Ashley who has learning difficulties were behind the winning entry, reported Sabah Post.

The story was created by selecting random picture cards and from then on, they created a storyline out of it. They spoke in Malay for the video but English subtitles were attached.
