Moh Keen Ho (莫景皓) is a Malaysian former professional snooker player.

Career

Moh turned professional in 2005, as the winner of the ACBS Asian Under-21 Snooker Championship. In his first season on the main tour, he entered four of the ranking tournaments, but was unable to win a match in any. At the Grand Prix, he was whitewashed 5–0 by Ryan Day, while at the UK Championship, he recovered a 0–3 deficit to lead Paul Davies 7–6, but eventually succumbed 7–9.

In the Malta Cup, he lost 2–5 to Hugh Abernethy, and at the China Open, he again failed to win a frame, losing 5–0 to Scott MacKenzie. Moh withdrew from the 2006 World Championship and, having finished the season ranked 92nd, lost his professional status thereafter.

Moh did not play competitively for the next eight years; however, he entered the 2014 World Amateur Championship, where he overcame five opponents, including Lucky Vatnani and Au Chi-wai, to progress from his group. He reached the last 32, but lost, at this stage, 1–5 to compatriot Thor Chuan Leong.

He reached the same stage at the 2015 edition of the tournament, but having led Syria's Karam Fatima 4–2, could not prevent a 4–5 defeat.
