Three DAP leaders confirmed Lee’s death when contacted by Pakdin.my
Sin Chew Daily reported that Lee, 58, died at 10am after a battle with cancer.
Lee beat Gerakan’s Teoh Kien Hong by a 4,119-vote majority at last year’s Selangor state election.
She first won her seat in 2013 after defeating MCA’s Ooi Hui Wen with a 1,702-vote majority, and defended it in 2018 with a 7,134-vote majority over MCA’s Wong Koon Mun.
In a statement, Selangor menteri besar Amirudin Shari extended his condolences to Lee’s family and DAP on behalf of the state government.
Calling her an experienced leader, Amirudin said Lee’s death was a significant loss to Selangor and Kuala Kubu Baharu residents.
