Dato' Teng Chang Khim (simplified Chinese: 邓章钦; traditional Chinese: 鄧章欽; pinyin: Dèng Zhāngqīn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tēng Chiong-khim; born 2 June 1963) is a Malaysian politician who served as Senior Member of the Selangor State Executive Council (EXCO) in the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) state administrations under Menteris Besar Khalid Ibrahim, Azmin Ali and Amirudin Shari from May 2013 to August 2023 as well as Member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Bandar Baru Klang from May 2018 to August 2023, for Sungai Pinang from March 2004 to May 2018, for Bandar Klang from November 1999 to March 2004 and for Bukit Gasing from April 1995 to November 1999. He also served as 9th Speaker of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly from April 2008 to May 2013. He is a member of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), a component party of the PH and formerly PR, Barisan Alternatif (BA) as well as Gagasan Rakyat (GR) coalitions.

Teng had obtained his bachelor's degree in law from the University of London and had started his legal career as an advocate and solicitor at the High Court of Malaya from 1995 until 2008.[1]

On 2 December 2020, he announced his decision to retirement from active politics and will not seek re-election both in the next coming general election and in the party.[2]

Personal life

His younger brother Teng Chang Yeow, the former Member of the Penang State Legislative Assembly for Padang Kota.[3][4][5] Unlike Teng Chang Khim himself, Teng Chang Yeow is a member of the Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (GERAKAN), a former component of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.[3][4][5] Nevertheless, both are sons of Teng Boon Ngap, who was a prominent member of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) of BN before 1980s.[3][4] They are also nephews to the former Tebrau MP Teng Boon Soon.[3][4]

Controversies and issues

In 2012, DAP chairman Karpal Singh had rebuked Teng on the acceptance "Datukship" in 2010 and Ngeh Koo Ham of Perak award in 2008 which breached the party's long-standing principal agreed upon since the mid-1990s on DAP elected representatives not receiving awards during their active political service.[6]
