Pakatan Harapan’s candidate for the Machang Bubok state seat, Lee Khai Loon, fell unconscious in his office in Bukit Mertajam today.
A message posted on his Facebook page stated: “YB Khai Loon fell unconscious, all programmes will be cancelled today. Harap maaf,” accompanied by a photo showing Lee lying on the floor.
The post, made about an hour ago, has garnered significant attention, with over 500 reactions and more than 200 comments.
Concerned followers have expressed their well-wishes and prayers for his speedy recovery.
Former Penang state executive council member Datuk Abdul Halim Hussain also prayed for Lee’s quick recovery and noted the challenges of campaigning in the hot weather.
“A lot of stamina needed for this campaign period. May YB get well and recover soon,” he said.
Abdul Halim’s colleague in the exco Soon Lip Chee also posted “Get well soon!”
Both Abdul Halim and Soon are not fielded in this state election.
Kamarul Ariffin said: “Hope everything goes well. Please keep us updated. Bring him to the nearest hospital will be the best way I think.”
Meanwhile, Bayan Baru member of parliament Sim Tze Tzin said he was checking on the matter. – NST
