Dato' Ngeh Koo Ham (simplified Chinese: 倪可汉; traditional Chinese: 倪可漢; pinyin: Ní Kě Hàn; born 29 September 1961), also known as James Ngeh, is a Malaysian politician and lawyer. A native of Ayer Tawar, Perak, Malaysia, he is a member of the Democratic Action Party (DAP) in Malaysia. Ngeh Koo Ham is on the DAP's Central Executive Committee and is head of the DAP in the state of Perak.
Ngeh's parents were rubber tappers in Ayer Tawar. He attended the Methodist English School, Ayer Tawar; Sekolah Menengah Jenis Kebangsaan (SMJK) Shyr Tien, Ayer Tawar; and the (Methodist) Anglo-Chinese School, Setiawan. He went on to graduate from Universiti Malaya as a Bachelor of Laws.
Before his appointment as senior executive councillor of Perak during the state government was led by Pakatan Rakyat from 17 March 2008 to 12 May 2009, Ngeh practised as a lawyer with Nga Hock Cheh and Co. (no relation) in Sitiawan before starting his own law firm, Ngeh and Co, which is headquartered in Ayer Tawar, with branches in Ipoh, Perak and Kuala Lumpur.
In one of his more famous cases during his legal career, Ngeh Koo Ham represented Sitiawan businessman Yong Kon Fatt, who was sued by Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd (IWK) in January 2005 for refusing to pay RM1,074 for sewerage services purportedly provided to his house at Taman Samudera in Lumut. The High Court sitting in Ipoh ruled that 'those who have made payments to IWK but had not received any sewerage services could demand refunds'.
In 2012, Ngeh drew flak with remarks over "Innocence of Muslims" film which insulted Muhammad and Islam. Ngeh had allegedly tweeted: "Khairy wants Muslim protest against Sam Bacile. For Islam or for his political gains? Are Muslims wasting too much time and energy on this?"
