Upon hearing the news, her opponent, fellow candidate for the Bentong federal seat in the election and former Bentong MPLiow Tiong Lai from the opposingBarisan Nasional (BN) and theMalaysian Chinese Association (MCA) expressed his sadness and sent his best and sincerest wishes and care for Young Syefura to recuperate well.
