PETALING JAYA: SEA Games gold medallist Jackie Wong Siew Cheer would never have thought that spending over two months in hospital was the best thing to ever happen to him.
This is because the hospital is where Wong met his future wife, Dr Joanne Tiong, who was one of the doctors treating him at Sibu Hospital for Covid-19 three years ago. Wong, who represented Malaysia at the SEA Games and won the gold medal at the Hanoi Games in 2022, was hospitalised for 72 days after testing positive for Covid-19 in March 2020.According to the Chinese daily, Wong's family members became ill one after another, and Dr Tiong became the main person whom family members would pass on items to those who were warded.
He said after three years of dating, he read a verse from the Bible which said,"two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labour. If either of them falls down, one can help the other up."Wong said finding a partner who was supportive and understanding was not easy, so he decided to propose to her."When he was diagnosed with Covid-19 and sent to Sibu Hospital, everyone was nervous because of the severity of the pandemic.
Dr Tiong said that during their three-year relationship, she learnt that Wong was reliable and responsible.Five-metre-long crocodile caught in Lahad DatuNo to violence: Man Utd stars Onana, Garnacho send well-wishes to Faisal Halim
