Hiew King Cheu

Hiew joined the Malaysian Chinese Association in 2014 after an invitation by the party in June that year.

Hiew relinquished his federal seat in 2013, instead contesting, and winning, the State Assembly seat of Luyang. In September 2013, he resigned from the DAP to become an independent in the State Assembly due to his defiance of the party in supporting Lajim Ukin over Wilfred Bumburing to be the leader of the opposition in the assembly.

Hiew had contested the federal Kota Kinabalu seat in the 2002 by-election and 2004 Malaysian general election losing on each occasion. He won the seat in the 2008 election. In a four-way election, he narrowly defeated Christina Liew of fellow opposition party PKR and Barisan Nasional's Chin Teck Meng. The election was regarded as an unexpected loss by the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition.
