Nga Kor Ming (Chinese: 倪可敏; pinyin: Ní Kě Mǐn; 11 November 1972), also known as David Nga, is a Malaysian politician and is the current Member of Parliament for the seat of Taiping, Perak. He is a member of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) in the Pakatan Rakyat opposition coalition, and serves as the party's Assistant National Treasurer.
Nga Kor Ming received a Bachelor of Laws from Universiti Malaya. Before his appointment to the Perak executive council, he practised as a lawyer in Ayer Tawar and also in Ipoh, Perak.
He became Member of Parliament for Taiping, Perak after defeating President of the People's Progressive Party (PPP) Datuk M. Kayveas with a majority of 11,298 votes in the General Election on 8 March 2008. He has also been State Assemblyman for Pantai Remis, Perak since the 1999 General Election. In 2008, with the formation of the Perak government by the coalition of DAP, PKR and PAS (known as Pakatan Rakyat), Nga Kor Ming was appointed to the state executive committee, with the portfolios of Education, Local Government, Housing and Public Transport. Perak had previously been ruled continuously by the Barisan Nasional (or its predecessor the Alliance) since the independence of Malaya (later Malaysia) in 1957.
In 2007, he was recognised as one of Ten Outstanding Young Malaysians by the International Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Ministry of Youth and Sports in the category of 'Politics and Government'. This award was notable as it rarely goes to opposition politicians.
