Tan Lee Ooi is Head of the Department of Mass Communication at UOW Malaysia KDU Penang University College in Malaysia. He completed his PhD at the National University of Singapore. He published a book with the National University Press of Malaysia on the dynamics of cyberspace during the Reformasi Movement, in the Malay language.

"Tan Lee Ooi’s Buddhist Revitalization and Chinese Religions in Malaysia provides a corrective to the study of Buddhism as it not only documents—historically and ethnographically—how Buddhist actors in Malaysia respond to modernity, but also how membership in different minority Buddhist traditions in Malaysia shapes ideas about religion and the state more widely. What also makes Tan’s study important to the field of Buddhist studies is the uniqueness of Malaysia as a country in which all three forms of Buddhism are quite vibrant and are equally responding to what it means to be a minority in a Malay-Muslim nation state."- Jeffrey Samuels, Review of Religion and Chinese Society 8 (2021)
