Edwin Ong Wee Kee

Edwin Ong Wee Kee (born in 1974 in Sibu, Malaysia ) is a Malaysian photographer and a traditional Chinese medicine physician. Ong shot to fame when he became the first Malaysian to win the grand prize of the 8th Hamdan International Photography Award. He is a late bloomer and his interest in photography only started in 2010. Since then, he has taken part in numerous photography contests organised locally and internationally. He is a holder of MPSA (Master of Photographic Society of America) since 2018 as well as a life member of the Photographic Society of Sibu for which he once served as a vice president. Later media reports that the winning photograph may have been staged. Ong dismissed the accusation and said that the photo was taken spontaneously.
