Su Keong Siong (simplified Chinese: 苏建祥; traditional Chinese: 蘇建祥; pinyin: Sū Jiàn Xiáng) is a Malaysian lawyer and politician of Chinese descent. Admitted to the Malaysian bar[3] in 1994, he is currently serving as a Member of Parliament for Ipoh Timor.[4] A Lawyer by profession, he earned a LLM cum laude from University of Wolverhampton before returning to Malaysia to work for C K LEONG & CO. in Ipoh. He first involved in politics when he was elected to the Perak State Assembly first in 2008 in the constituency of Pasir Pinji in Perak. During Nizar Jaraluddin's premiership, he was an exco member in the Perak assembly. In the 2013 election Su succeeded incumbent Lim Kit Siang, who ran for reelection in Gelang Patah instead.
In 2014, he was charged of starting a peaceful assembly "without prior notice". He was later discharged and acquitted by Perak Court of Appeals, the decision also found the requirement of giving ten-day prior notice before holding a peaceful assembly unconstitutional.[5]
