In the 2008 general elections, Lee contested the Kelana Jaya parliamentary seat, but lost out to Parti Keadilan Rakyat newcomer Loh Gwo Burne. Following his defeat, Lee was appointed Port Klang Authority chairman by Transport Minister Ong Tee Keat amid a cloud of controversy over the Port Klang Free Zone scandal.
