Truly, he wasn&rsquo;t just a performer but an entertainer too to his students, don&rsquo;t you think so? 
Now that we know sign language can be used by anyone to help those who have hearing impairments, let us take you to Malaysian Sign Language (BIM). 
Introducing BIM &amp; How It Was Started In Malaysia?
<img src="https://r2.myc.my/80237c286c819bb48d9b39a92bd58d44d7f37c65ee3c206c6992b645d3f481eb" />
Malaysian Sign Language also known as Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia (BIM) has taken place since 1954. This marked the start of the Federation School for the Deaf that was established in Tanjung Bungah, Penang. It is a special school that caters to deaf students from all walks of life. As such, they have an opportunity to use sign language as a means to enhance their skills in communicating with other students. 
Back in the early 1960s, Mr. Tan Yap from Johor was a pharmacist who took several unpaid leaves in order to take sign language and interpretation courses in America. He then brought back his knowledge of ASL or American Sign Language and utilized it wisely by teaching deaf children, nurses, and other hearing people about the use and interpretation of sign language. With this ASL knowledge that served as the foundation, BIM gradually developed into its current form. 
Where To Learn BIM?
BIM is suitable for anyone who is interested in learning sign language as their passion and language skills enhancement.
