Political career

[edit]

He always attends dinners organized by local political leaders to collect donations.

In 1999 general election, he was suggested by Ronnie Liu Tian Khiew and Teng Chang Khim to contest in the Sekinchan state seat because there were no more political veterans who wanted to contest there. He contested in 29 age and gaining 3,728 votes and lost with majority of 2,044 votes but won in the Malay community because he could speak Javanese.

In 2004 general election, many voters returned to support BN and many DAP, PKR and PAS candidates lost. But Ng Suee Lim won in Sekinchan with a majority of 344 votes. He became one of the only two members of the opposition party in the Selangor State Assembly at that time (the other was Teng Chang Khim).

In 2008 general election, he successfully defended the seat and got 5,403 votes with a majority of 190 votes.

Ng Suee Lim won the Sekinchan state seat in both the 2013 and 2018 general elections. On 26 June 2018, Ng Suee Lim was nominated as the new Speaker by Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari, Teng Chang Khim seconded the motion, and it was approved. Ng Suee Lim was sworn in at 10:07 in the morning.[3]
