Tan was elected to the State Assembly in the 2008 election as a member of the People's Justice Party (PKR).[2] He was subsequently appointed to the Executive Council of the incoming government as its only Chinese member.[3] However, he was dropped from the Executive Council in March 2010 by Chief Minister Azizan Abdul Razak.[4] He subsequently resigned from PKR alleging that he had been undermined by party leaders.[5] He did not recontest his seat in the 2013 election.
