Datuk Seri Yong Teck Lee (simplified Chinese: 杨德利; traditional Chinese: 楊德利; pinyin: Yáng Délì; born 3 October 1958) is a Malaysian politician of Hakka Chinese descent. He was Chief Minister of Sabah from 1996 to 1998. Currently he is President of the Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP).

Political career

Yong became the Chief Minister of Sabah on 28 May 1996 to serve in a two-year rotation arranged by the Barisan Nasional coalition in the state.[1] He had previously served as Deputy Chief Minister.[2] In 1994 he resigned from the United Sabah Party (PBS), citing dissatisfaction with its leadership, and established the SAPP; however, the new party became a member of the Barisan Nasional coalition led in Sabah by the PBS.[3] Lee led the SAPP in bolting from Barisan Nasional in 2008.

Before entering politics, Yong was a lawyer, having studied in London.[4]
