MANY dating couples will dream and talk of sharing a life together – building their own little world. But this does not apply to Jason Lee Kee Chong, 30, and Wong Wei Moon, 28.
Recalling the time when they first dated almost four years ago, Wong said: “Jason had made it clear to me how important his other love to him is – his calling in politics and serving the people.”
But love conquers all, perhaps.

Happy family: Lee and Wong with Li Sin, 18 months (on Lee's lap), and Hoe Sin. |
Lee, who is vying for the Temiang state seat in Negri Sembilan under a Barisan Nasional ticket, has found his sons to be a source of relaxation and motivation, Wong said.
“We (Wong and her sons) visit him at the operation centre daily and spend a little time together.
“Giving him our emotional support is the least we could do for him during this very crucial period,” said Wong who also sent home-made ginseng soup and chrysanthemum tea to her husband.
For Gopeng parliamentary seat candidate Datuk Ling Hee Leong’s wife Datin Carol Ong, campaigning for candidates in the general election is something new to her although her father-in-law Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik was the former MCA president.
“Ever since the campaigning period started last Sunday, I’ve been waking up at 5.45 every morning and meeting the voters by 7am,” she said.
The couple is blessed with a 12-year-old son, Sonny Jr.
Ong said she could put her Mandarin into good use now when campaigning for her husband.
“I started learning Chinese five years ago in order to monitor my son’s homework as he goes to Chinese school,” said Ong, who is an English-educated accountant by training.
On how she explains to her son about Hee Leong’s absence from home due to his busy schedule, Ong said her son understood the situation well.
“He is getting really interested in the entire political scenario with Hee Leong’s participation in the elections and has been asking us questions like the role of a member of parliament and how the election system works,” she said.
On her opinion should her son join politics one day, Ong said:
“We will let him make his own decision but I believe Hee Leong will be very happy to see him following in the family’s footsteps.
