BiographyHistory

Lee Kok Liang was born in Alor Star, Kedah in Western Malaysia. He was educated in Chinese and English schools and later studied at the University of Melbourne where he first published his writing. Lee moved to London in 1952 and studied for the Bar. In 1954 he returned to Malaysia where he practiced law and became a politician and social activist.

His published fiction includes The Mutes in the Sun (1964), which includes two short stories first published during his time in Australia; Flowers in the Sky (1981); and Death is a Ceremony (1992). While none of his fiction is set in Australia, his posthumously published novel London Does Not Belong to Me (2003) includes Australian expatriate characters.
