Chong: Getting Covid-19 was ‘hell’


In good hands: Chong being tended to by Dr Lim as Dr Santha looks on.

PETALING JAYA: If there is one word that MCA Public Services and Complaints Department chief Datuk Seri Michael Chong could use to describe his experience as a Covid-19 patient, it would be “hell”.

The 72-year-old Chong had to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) on Jan 8 and remained there for 12 days, fighting the Covid-19 virus that had attacked his lungs.
