Dato' Tan Lian Hoe (simplified Chinese: 陈莲花; traditional Chinese: 陳蓮花; pinyin: Chén Liánhuā; born 14 November 1958) is a Malaysian politician. She was a Member of Parliament of Malaysia from 2004 to 2013. She was a member of the Malaysian People's Movement Party (Gerakan), a former component party in the then-ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition (nowadays it is a component party of the Perikatan Nasional coalition since 2020).
Political career
[edit]Tan was elected to the Gerik seat in the 2008 election, having served from 2004 as the Member of Parliament for Bukit Gantang earlier.[1]
In the 2013 election, she contested the seat of Taiping,[2] but was defeated by Nga Kor Ming of the Democratic Action Party (DAP).[3]
Tan contested the Perak state seat of Jalong instead in the 2018 general elections but lost.
Controversy
[edit]In October 2008, Tan was rebuked by the then Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi[4] for having criticized the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the leading party in the Barisan Nasional government, for what she saw as race-based politics.[5]
