LEUKAEMIA patient Ahmad Wazif Mohd Amir, seven, got a feel of what it is like to become a rail engineer when Make-A-Wish and Prasarana treated him to train rides on the MRT, LRT and monorail lines.

Ahmad Wazif, who was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in 2017, was given a chance to experience being behind the wheel of a moving train when he was given access to the driver’s compartment.
