Datuk Wee Jeck Seng (黃日升; born 20 April 1964) is a Malaysian politician and was the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Tanjong Piai constituency in the State of Johor from 2008 to 10 May 2018. He is a member of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) which is a major component party in the previous ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) government coalition.[1]
Background
Wee was born on 20 April 1964 at his hometown in Pontian, Johor. He was graduated with Bachelor of Business Management from the University of Sunderland. He is married to Lin Ruyun.[2][3]
Political career
Wee was elected to federal Parliament in the 2008 general election for the seat of Tanjong Piai.[4] Wee was nominated for the seat by the MCA after it was vacated by the party's president Ong Ka Ting to contest the Kulai seat. Prior to Wee's election, he was Ong's political secretary,[5] as well as member of the Johor State Legislative Assembly for Pekan Nenas constituency for one term from 2004 to 2008.[6]
Immediately after his election to Parliament in 2008, Wee was appointed as a Deputy Minister in the government of Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi with responsibility for Youth and Sports.[7] He retained his appointment when incoming Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak reshuffled the Ministry in April 2009.[8] However, he was dropped from the ministry in June 2010 following MCA leadership elections.[9]
Wee won and retained his Tanjong Piai parliamentary seat in the 2013 general election.
He failed to retain his parliamentary seat in the 2018 general election.[10]
