'I was born and raised in Triang, married in Triang and also contested as a candidate in Triang. I think I would even pass away in Triang (laughs). I am a Triang boy through and through...'
'... As for my political career, I joined DAP in 1978 at the age of 23. I started contesting in 1986. I lost marginally then, by over two hundred votes. I contested again in 1990, and have won the election contests since then. My political career as a state assemblyman (ADUN) coincided with Tok Guru’s (Dato Nik Aziz Nik Mat) ascension as Menteri Besar in Kelantan at the same time. Yes, I have been an ADUN for 20 years.'

Leong Ngah Ngah: A Pahang boy through and through
http://www.therocket.com.my/en/leong-ngah-ngah-a-pahang-boy-through-through/
This morning I was having breakfast with a retired teacher who had taught Leong in Triang before. He told me about Leong's popularity in Pahang, especially after he won again in a different state constituency of N1 Tanah Rata (which is under P78 Cameron Highlands) in GE13. On top of that, his daughter, Leong Yu Man, won in his stronghold of N38 Triang (which is under P90 Bera).
It was news to me, and I think it is worth a mention about this relatively unknown fact.
From GE13 results:
N1 Tanah Rata, Pahang
Leong Ngah Ngah (DAP) 7,878;
Datuk Ho Yip Kap (BN-MCA) 4,734;
Dr Cheam May Choo (Ind) 408;
Majority: 3,144; Spoilt 333; Turnout: 13,353.
N38 Triang, Pahang
Leong Yu Man (DAP) 10,076;
Tan Tin Loon (BN-Ger) 5,067;
Majority: 5,009; Spoilt 242; Turnout: 15,385.
