Datuk Chua Tee Yong (Chinese: 蔡智勇; pinyin: Cài Zhì Yǒng; born 19 October 1977) is a Malaysian politician and is the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Labis constituency in the State of Johor. He is one of the four Vice-Presidents of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) in the ruling Barisan Nasional coalition with the third highest votes during the party election on 21 December 2013.[1]

Chua was elected to federal Parliament in the 2008 election, succeeding his father Chua Soi Lek in the seat of Labis.[2][3] In June 2010, he was appointed Deputy Agriculture and Agro-based Industries Minister in a Cabinet reshuffle.[4] The MCA temporarily withdrew from the government post after its poor performance in the 2013 election. Upon its return in 2014, Chua was appointed as Deputy Minister for Finance.[5][6] Chua is an accountant and was chief financial officer of a government-linked company.[7]
