Datin Paduka Dr. Tan Yee Kew (simplified Chinese: 陈仪乔; traditional Chinese: 陳儀喬; pinyin: Chén Yíqiáo; Cantonese Yale: Chàhn Yìh-kìuh; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tân Gî-kiâu) (born 1953) is a Malaysian politician who served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Wangsa Maju from May 2018 to November 2022, for Klang from April 1995 to March 2008 and Parliamentary Secretary of International Trade and Industry from March 2004 to March 2008. She is a member and Chairperson of the Disciplinary Board of the People's Justice Party (PKR), a component party of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) opposition coalition and was a member of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), a component party of the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition. She was also the Treasurer of PKR before 2018, Deputy Women Chief of MCA from 1996 to 2005, State Women Chief of MCA of Selangor and Member of the Central Committee of MCA.[1][2]

Political career

[edit]

Tan joined MCA in 1986.

Tan was also the Director of the Port Klang Authority from 1998 to 2001, before she was appointed as the Parliamentary secretary of Ministry of International Trade and Industry in 2004.[3][4]

Anyhow, Tan was censured on violating the party disciplines, and her party membership had been suspended for 6 months in 2005. Furthermore, she was dropped as the candidate of 2008 general election, where MCA and BN suffered a great loss in Selangor later.[5] Tan quit herself from MCA on 17 July 2008 and joined PKR with more than thousand of followers.[6]

During the 2013 general election, Tan contested as PKR candidate for the parliamentary seat of Tanjong Malim in Perak, against MCA's Ong Ka Chuan, the Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry, but she lost by 4,328 votes.[7][8]

In 2018 general election, Tan moved to Wangsa Maju in Kuala Lumpur, and defeated Yew Teong Look, the candidate of MCA, with 24,238 votes majority.[9]
