A Malaysian boy who was diagnosed with cancer had a respite from his illness when he and his siblings got to ride in a Lamborghini.
This came after his brother saw the luxury car on the road and was so excited that he wanted to ride in it.

His mother went on to make an appeal online, as she hoped to get in touch with its owner to fulfil the boy’s dream.
On Tuesday (23 April), a mother’s appeal was shared in the Orang Wangsa Maju Facebook group, a community page for residents of the Wangsa Maju constituency in Kuala Lumpur.
She said her eight-year-old son had seen a lemon-yellow Lamborghini on the road on 18 April and it made him very excited.
He insisted on taking photos of the car even though it was raining heavily, she added.
He has expressed a wish to ride in the car, and so she’s asking netizens for help to get in touch with the car’s owner.
While this may have seemed like a tall order at first, the appeal was seen by Mr Mikael Hidayat, who happened to know the Lamborghini’s owner.
He related what happened next in a Facebook post on Wednesday (24 April), saying he told his friend about the boy.
They agreed to meet the mother and her children the night before, on 23 April, to fulfil the boy’s dream.
When the family arrived, there were three children — the eight-year-old boy and his older brother and sister.
While it was the eight-year-old who wanted to see the car up close, his brother is a car enthusiast, too, Mr Hidayat said.
The mother then revealed that the brother was suffering from leukaemia and undergoing treatment in hospital.
As she didn’t know how to make their dream come true, she resorted to seeking help from netizens.
The Lamborghini’s owner then decided that the three children would be taken for a ride in his car.

The encounter might have touched the man, judging from his wide grin and thumbs-up to the camera.
He also appeared to be tearing up slightly as he wiped something from his eye.

Mr Hidayat mused that a mother would find a way to fulfil her child’s dream no matter how impossible it is.
He also felt that helping them might be a small matter fro some, but it may mean a lot to others.
Finally, he wondered:
It didn’t rain, it didn’t blow, why did “dust” suddenly get into this friend’s eyes?
