suppadmin | April 25, 2026

It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Datin Patinggi Puan Sri Dr. Jane Yong Say Kan, a woman of remarkable grace and dedicated service. As the wife of the late Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Dr. Wong Soon Kai, the former Deputy Chief Minister of Sarawak, she was a constant pillar of support throughout his storied political and medical career.

Dr. Jane Yong was a respected professional in her own right, embodying a life of compassion and quiet strength. Together with her husband, she contributed significantly to the social fabric of Sarawak, often engaging in community work and supporting various charitable causes. Her legacy is defined not only by her role within one of Sarawak’s most prominent families but also by her kindness and the dignity with which she lived her life.

Her passing marks the end of an era, leaving behind a legacy of devotion to family and state. Our deepest condolences go out to her children, grandchildren, and loved ones during this time of loss.
