The driver, Yap Chi Hoe, had vision problems that could have led to blindness.

Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil last month found himself in the centre of a social media storm after he joked about a run-down car on Twitter.

But the social media storm eventually led to an unlikely meeting between Fahmi and the car driver, 39-year-old Yap Chi Hoe, who, the MP would later learn, was facing vision troubles that could potentially lead to blindness. "The eye specialist found that he faced chronic retinal detachment in one eye while another needed laser treatment," he said.

"God-willing, Yap will be given some follow-up treatment, and I believe his eye condition will improve and he can build a better life," he said.
