  "account": "A 52-year-old Malaysian, Chin Yun Hin, who had fallen into a coma in Istanbul, has passed away according to a Facebook post from DAP’s R Rajiv. The Bukit Gasing assemblyman expressed gratitude for the assistance and support received. Chin had developed a fever during a transit in Istanbul while returning from England earlier this month. Authorities suspected a lung-related issue after his fever persisted, preventing him from flying home. His brother Yein Meng revealed that the family required financial aid between RM500,000 and RM700,000 for an air ambulance to transport Chin back to Malaysia. Additional expenses would include ongoing hospital treatment and medication in Turkey.",
  "summary": "DAP rep thanks those who came forward to help Chin Yun Hin's family, says there is no longer a need to raise funds.",
