MALACCA: Losing the Ayer Keroh state seat is not the end of MCA's Chiew Hong Lan's political career.

"I will still serve where I am needed. I will not let down anyone who comes to me.

"I will help them the best I can. It's not the end of me."

However, Chiew wishes to take a break "until election fever cools-off" before she starts work again.

"I will wait and see what the state government or the party wants me to do next," she said.
