  "account": "Pahala Wan Chuan Soon, an official from the DAP Kampung Baru Damansara constituency in Malaysia, is assisting a family in gathering funds to bring their 52-year-old comatose relative, Chin Yun Hin, back from Istanbul, Turkey. The family approached Pahala Wan Chuan Soon, who initially spoke on their behalf, regarding Yun Hin's condition after experiencing a fever during transit in Istanbul during their journey back from England.\n\nInitial Turkish doctors had suggested Yun Hin was suffering from a brain hemorrhage, but further examinations revealed he had a lung issue. The patient was denied boarding on the plane due to his persistent fever. Pahala Wan Chuan Soon stated that Yun Hin was administered medication before sleeping, but remains unconscious. Rajiv, Yun Hin's brother, informed that the comatose patient is currently on a ventilator and is unable to be transported on commercial flights. According to him, Yun Hin requires an air ambulance, which comes with a high cost.\n\nChin Yein Meng, Yun Hin's sister, informed that the family has been informed that the cost of an air ambulance is estimated between RM500,000 and RM700,000. They also have to bear the hospital and medication costs for Yun Hin in Turkey. According to Yein Meng, the family has contacted the Malaysian Consulate in Turkey and was advised to proceed with the air ambulance if Yun Hin's condition is stable enough for the journey.\n\nThe family is now appealing for public contributions to cover the air ambulance cost, as well as hospital and medication expenses for Yun Hin in Turkey. Rajiv stated that he will contribute RM2,000 to kick-start the fundraising effort and urged others to help based on their individual capacity. Rajiv mentioned that the Yun Hin family has chosen to organize a public donation drive and expressed his willingness to support their efforts.",
