Malaysian Minister of Tourism & Culture YB Dato’ Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz has appointed Wee Choo Keong as the chairman of Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board, better known as Tourism Malaysia. Wee is a Barrister-at-Law from the Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn, London, and has been a practicing advocate and solicitor of more than 32 years.

Upon being called to the Bar at the Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn, he returned to Malaysia in 1980 where he was actively involved in serving the community through his legal consultation. The political and social development in Malaysia were also issues that were close to his heart, and this saw him serve two terms as Member of Parliament (MP) for Bukit Bintang, the heart of commerce and tourism in Kuala Lumpur, and another term as MP for Wangsa Maju.
