Quah Perng Fei (simplified Chinese: 柯鹏飞; traditional Chinese: 柯鵬飛; pinyin: Kē Péngfēi; born 19 August 1974) is a Malaysian politician and medical doctor who has served as Member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Bandar Baru Klang since August 2023. He is a member, State Committee Member of Selangor and Branch Chairman of North Klang of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), a component party of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) and formerly Pakatan Rakyat (PR) coalitions. He also served as the Member of the Klang Municipal Council (MPK) from January 2021 to his resignation in July 2023.[1]
Quah was born in Kedah, Malaysia in 1974 and was raised in Taman Eng Ann, Klang. He has been there since he was 8 except going abroad for studies and work. He furthered his studies in the medical field in the University of the West Indies at St. Augustine in Trinidad and Tobago.[2]
Medical doctor career
Quah has been a medical doctor for more than 20 years and been running two clinics in Klang prior to becoming an MLA. He opened a clinic in Klang in 2003. During his time as a medical doctor, patients that came to his clinic to meet him and reflect various issues facing Klang to him. He said the reason he decided to contest is his experience as a medical doctor that can bring forward good suggestions and proposals to the Selangor State Legislative Assembly which will benefit the people if they are implemented. He also believed that his tenure as a Member of MPK is the reason he was nominated by PH and his advantage in the election.[3]
