DAP Parliamentary Leader and Member of Parliament for Gelang Patah Sdr Lim Kit Siang underwent surgery on 19 December 2017 to remove a small tumour in his left kidney. The laparoscopic partial nephrectomy was successful and doctors expect a full recovery without complications.
The small tumour was a fortunate incidental discovery following a routine medical check-up on Sdr Lim. Biopsy tests on the small tumour removed disclosed that it was a Stage 1 (a) cancer, the lowest grade cancer possible. Doctors also expect a full recovery.
Sdr Lim is recuperating from surgery and has begun to take walks.
During Sdr Lim’s recuperation, constituency matters in his Gelang Patah parliamentary constituency will be handled by his Special Constituency Representative Sdri Ng Siam Luang and the DAP Gelang Patah Parliamentary Constituency Office. DAP Johor State Chairman and MP for Kluang Sdr Liew Chin Tong will also assist in supervising the constituency work in Sdr Lim’s absence.
The family thanks all well-wishers and would appreciate that Sdr Lim is given the time and space to recuperate so that he can be back in action quickly.
