Mitigating factors

- She has publicly documented use of her own MP allocation, reporting RM330,372.85 of RM350,000 disbursed for 2012.N7

- 2Search the court registry (e-Judiciary) and insolvency records for civil or criminal matters involving her.

- 4Check MACC statements and press releases for any mention of her or of Communications Ministry/MCMC procurements.
- 5Review Auditor-General reports and Hansard for MCMC, JENDELA and RTM/Bernama procurement questions linked to her ministry.
- 6Verify party posts and biography (birth date, education, DAP history) against DAP and Election Commission official records.
Assessment
The public record on Teo Nie Ching is dominated by official election results and news reporting of her work as deputy communications minister and DAP office-holder. It shows a long, stable parliamentary career since 2008 with large and growing majorities, and contains no allegation, charge or legal proceeding against her. Because the records contain no company-registry, asset, credit or court-registry checks, corporate and financial exposure remains unassessed. Her high rating drivers are her senior office and policy responsibilities, not any recorded wrongdoing.
