Mulyono Sejati
His disability is no impediment to Mulyono Sejati, 43, who doesn’t allow his permanent foot disability to discourage him or make him dependent on others. He has skillfully carved wood into wayang puppets, which has been his livelihood and contribution to cultural preservation for 12 years.
On a cloudy afternoon on Thursday (15/11/2018), Mulyono was supervising a construction worker who was repairing the roof of his house on the outskirts of Turus hamlet, Ternyang village in Sumberpucung district, Malang regency, East Java. On a small living room table in front of him was the half-finished logo of a private bank in Surabaya made of wood.
