Teng had obtained his bachelor's degree in law from the University of London and had started his legal career as an advocate and solicitor at the High Court of Malaya from 1995 until 2008.[1]

On 2 December 2020, he announced his decision to retirement from active politics and will not seek re-election both in the next coming general election and in the party.[2]

Personal life

His younger brother Teng Chang Yeow, the former Member of the Penang State Legislative Assembly for Padang Kota.[3][4][5] Unlike Teng Chang Khim himself, Teng Chang Yeow is a member of the Parti Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (GERAKAN), a former component of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.[3][4][5] Nevertheless, both are sons of Teng Boon Ngap, who was a prominent member of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) of BN before 1980s.[3][4] They are also nephews to the former Tebrau MP Teng Boon Soon.[3][4]

Controversies and issues

In 2012, DAP chairman Karpal Singh had rebuked Teng on the acceptance "Datukship" in 2010 and Ngeh Koo Ham of Perak award in 2008 which breached the party's long-standing principal agreed upon since the mid-1990s on DAP elected representatives not receiving awards during their active political service.[6]
