Wong Ho Leng (Simplified Chinese: 黄和联) (born 21 December 1959) is a Malaysian politician. He is currently the Member of Parliament of Sibu and Member of the State Legislative Assembly of Sarawak for the seat of Bukit Assek and is the opposition leader of the assembly, being the state chairman of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) in the Pakatan Rakyat opposition coalition.[1][2]
Wong Ho Leng made a stir in the Sarawak politics in 1996 state election when he defeated the Sarawak United Peoples' Party president and deputy chief minister of Sarawak Tan Sri Wong Soon Kai by a slim majority of 226 votes in the Bukit Assek constituency. He was subsequently defeated by Daniel Ngieng in 2001 state election, but wrested the same constituency back in 2006 state election.[3]
On May 16, 2010, Wong was elected to federal Parliament in the Sibu by-election. His victory saw the DAP wrest the seat from Barisan Nasional.[4][5] He was the DAP's candidate for Sibu in the 1995, 2004 and 2008 elections, but was defeated by Barisan Nasional's Robert Lau Hoi Chew on each occasion.[6]
