KUALA LUMPUR: Even though she is still be in her confinement period after giving birth to a son early this month, Cheras Wanita MCA chairman Datin Heng Sinn Yee is all set to campaign for the 14th general election (GE14).
The mother of four said she was willing to make the sacrifice for the sake of the party and carry out her responsibilities as Barisan Nasional (BN) candidate for the Cheras parliamentary seat.
“I have a team which is very helpful and they are my backbone. Although it is tiring, I will try to maintain work-life balance.
“I have been doing this over the past two years and have solved many issues. I will continue doing it,” she told a press conference after the launch of the Cheras BN manifesto here today.
Her husband, Datuk Dr Toh Kian Kok, 46, who is Cheras MCA secretary, said he had given his wife his full support since the first day she said she wanted to contest as people’s representative two years ago.
Heng, who is in a straight fight against DAP veteran Tan Kok Wai in the GE14, said she was confident her track-record in resolving various local issues would help her win the hearts of the people of Cheras.
The Cheras BN manifesto contained, among others, the pledges to empower women, uplift people’s living standards, provide free tuition classes to underprivileged students, upgrade 31 public housing flats in the constituency, and to turn Taman Connaught Night Market into tourist destination. --Bernama
