Visionary cabbie, Eddie.

PETALING JAYA: A taxi driver and an ardent animal lover touched thousands of hearts when he offered on his Facebook page a ride for ‘any blind man with a guide dog.’

Mohd Kamil Affendy Hashim, 32, was inspired to post his phone number after watching a short film directed by Jason Lim entitled ‘Are You Blind’ that related how sight-impaired businessman Stevens Chan and his seeing eye dog Lashawn were always chased out of shopping malls and prevented from boarding taxis and buses.
