Datuk Liew Vui Keong (simplified Chinese: 刘伟强; traditional Chinese: 劉偉強; pinyin: Liú Wěi Qiáng; born 18 January 1960) is a Malaysian politician. He was the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Sandakan constituency in Sabah from 2008 until his defeat in the 2013 election. During his term in Parliament he was a deputy minister in the federal government.
He was the President of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) from 2006 to 2014, when he was replaced by Teo Chee Kang in a rancorous internal dispute. Liew contested Teo's claim to the party's presidency with the Registrar of Societies.
Liew had sacked 23 out of the 25 supreme council members as party members demanded top two positions to be contested. Teo was subsequently removed from his presidency post and was replaced by the sacked Secretary General Teo Chee Kang.Teo was removed as party president for his act of abuse of power in an attempt to consolidate his position as President.
Liew's appeal to the Court of appeal over his removal from the presidency post was dismissed.
Liew criticised Esscom as a failing entity for the incident of abduction of four tug boat crewmen.
