Dr Wan Azizah Lauds Samivel’s Selfless Act As Organ Donor

JASIN, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- The death of J. Samivel, Pakatan Harapan (PH) candidate’s representative for the Asahan state legislative assembly seat in an accident in Jasin at noon today has left his family and friends heartbroken, but his selfless act as an organ donor has given hope to others in need.

PKR Advisory Council chairman Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail said his death was a great loss to the party.

She said his final act of generosity as an organ donor reflected his compassion and the lasting legacy he had left behind, not only during his lifetime but also after his passing.

“Adam Adli Abd Halim (Melaka PKR State Leadership Council acting chairman) and I went to Jasin Hospital to offer assistance and help facilitate the organ retrieval process,” she told Bernama after a Ziarah Kasih outreach programme at Felda Bukit Senggeh here today.

Dr Wan Azizah spent half an hour visiting the deceased’s family and offering words of encouragement after the outreach programme.

Dr Wan Azizah also extended her condolences to the deceased’s family and expressed hope that they would be granted strength and patience in facing this difficult period.

Samivel, 62, who was the representative for PH candidate P. Denesh for the Asahan state seat in the 16th Melaka state election, died after the vehicle he was travelling in collided with a lorry at Jalan Pondok Batang, Jasin, today.

Jasin district police chief Supt Lee Robert said police received a report about the accident involving Samivel at 12.45 pm.
