Political career Tan was elected to the Gerik seat in the 2008 election, having served from 2004 as the Member of Parliament for Bukit Gantang earlier.
In the 2013 election, she contested the seat of Taiping, but was defeated by Nga Kor Ming of the Democratic Action Party (DAP). Results only available for the 2013 election.
Tan contested the Perak state seat of Jalong instead in the 2018 general elections but lost.
