Political career

[edit]

Lee made her debut by contesting and winning the Selangor State Legislative Assembly seat of Teratai as a DAP candidate in the 2008 general election.

Lee defended her seat as an Independent by using "Tree" as her logo in the 2013 general election after her name was dropped by the DAP's 4 men select committee.[1] Later DAP disciplinary chairman Tan Kok Wai announced she practised corruption and abuse of power. However, those allegations were not proven until today. Lee also faced many disagreements and needed to fend off political attacks from her former party DAP and other sects from the Pakatan Rakyat.[3]

Lee finally announced she had joined Parti Rakyat Malaysia (PRM) in January 2018 and she was appointed as PRM Deputy President.[4] In the subsequent 2018 general election in May, she contested Pandan parliamentary seat and Teratai state seat under PRM tickets but lost both.
