Muhammad was born on 16 March 1961 in Maran, Pahang, Malaysia. He has lived with cerebral palsy since birth, which has left both his arms and legs completely paralysed. Although he is unable to eat with his feet, he has learned to hold a brush with his left foot and express himself through painting.
Since 1984, Muhammad has lived in a home for people with disabilities, where he first discovered his passion for art with the encouragement and guidance of an art teacher. Painting has become both a creative outlet and a source of joy in his daily life.
In addition to painting, he enjoys listening to the radio and watching television, finding inspiration and relaxation through these simple pleasures.
