Gooi Hsiao Leung

Gooi Hsiao Leung (simplified Chinese: 魏晓隆; traditional Chinese: 魏曉隆; pinyin: Wèi Xiǎolóng; Jyutping: Ngai6 Hiu2 Lung4; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Gūi Hiáu-liông; born 28 December 1972) is a Malaysian politician who has served as Member of the Penang State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Bukit Tengah since May 2018.

From a young age he followed his father, Gooi Hock Seng, former DAP Member of Parliament and State Assemblyman, through multiple election campaigns in the 80s and 90s.

This instilled in Gooi his strong desire for change, equality, good governance and a true democracy in Malaysia through a robust Opposition.

A lawyer by profession, Gooi contested the Alor Setar parliamentary seat at the 2008 general election, but lost to the seat's long-serving incumbent, Chor Chee Heung of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), by 184 votes.

Amid a nationwide swing away from Barisan Nasional coalition parties, such as the MCA, in urban areas, Gooi unseated Chor by 1,873 votes.
