Heng Sinn Yee, who is the Cheras Wanita MCA chairman and BN's candidate for the Cheras parliamentary seat, is being shamed by netizens after an image of her bunting became viral on social media

The Cheras Wanita MCA chairman, who is supposed to be in her confinement period after giving birth to a son in April this year, claimed that she was willing to sacrifice her confinement period so she can campaign for the sake of the party and carry out her responsibilities as BN candidate for the Cheras parliamentary seat.

"I have a team which is very helpful and they are my backbone. Although it is tiring, I will try to maintain work-life balance.

"I have been doing this for the past two years and have solved many issues. I will continue doing it," the mother of four was quoted as saying by NST Online on 29 April.

Datin Heng is competing against DAP veteran Tan Kok Wai this GE14.
