On 26.4.26, my wife and I together with MMA Sarawak Branch Secretary Dr Kon Ka Hin visited the family of the late Dato Sri Datin Patinggi Puan Sri Dr Jane Yong Sau Kan to convey our condolences on behalf of MMA.
We met the children of the late Dato Sri Datin Patinggi Puan Sri Dr Jane's children Dr Wong Chee Liang and Dr Wong Chee May (who are both MMA Sarawak members).
Dr Wong Chee Liang shared that his late mother served as a General Practitioner (GP) in Sibu for 41 years till the year 1996. He said his late mother retired in 1996 when his late father (the late Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr Wong Soon Kai) retired from politics. He said that his late parents were both classmates of Tun Dr Mahathir and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah in King Edward VII College of Medicine, Singapore. (NB They graduated in 1953. This College of Medicine later became part of Universiti Malaya.)
May God comfort the family of the late Dato Sri Datin Patinggi Puan Sri Dr Jane Yong.
The wake service is at 7pm today(27.4.26). The memorial service will be at 8am tomorrow (28.4.26).
