Datuk Heng Seai Kie (born 12 June 1962) is a Malaysian politician who served as Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development of Malaysia from June 2010 to May 2013 and Deputy Minister of Information, Communications, Arts and Culture from April 2009 to June 2010 in the Barisan Nasional (BN) administration under Prime Minister Najib Razak. She is a member of the Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA), a component party of the BN coalition.




Politics


She was appointed as Deputy Minister of Information, Communications, Arts and Culture, alongside Joseph Salang Gandum on 10 April 2009. From 4 June 2010, Heng Seai Kie was reassigned as Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development after a cabinet reshuffle.




Controversy


In October 2012, MCA Women's Vice Chairman Heng Seai Kei accused PAS General Mursydul Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat of encouraging rape of non-Muslim women who do not cover their private parts. Head of Information of the Pas Pusat Muslimat Council, Aiman Athirah al-Jundi regretted the frivolous allegation. PAS women are ready to organize a round table meeting to discuss the issue of women's private parts, the issue of rape and adultery from an Islamic perspective. It is possible that Heng did not understand the art of the Malay language (mantik) used by Nik Aziz. Heng's accusations were also supported by MCA President Datuk Seri Chua Soi Lek during the 2012 MCA General Assembly.
