History

The Sungai Puyu state constituency was created and first contested during the 1995 State Election.

Loo Ah Dee and Lee Ah Lee, politicians from Malaysian Chinese Association (MCA) first held the seat from 1995 to 2004. During the 2004 state elections, the constituency was wrested from the Barisan Nasional (BN) federal ruling coalition by Phee Boon Poh, a DAP politician. Phee has held Sungai Puyu since.
