Background

[edit]

Born on 2 January 1974, in Kuala Pilah, Negeri Sembilan, he started his career as a lawyer before venturing into the political arena in 2006.

Eddin Syazlee held a Bachelor of Law (Hons) degree from the Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) (2003), Masters in Law from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (2009), and Diploma in Syariah Legal Practice from UiTM (2017).

He was married to Dr Nurul Azlin Ibrahim and the couple is blessed with two sons, aged five and one.

Political career

In the 14th General Election, he contested under the PKR ticket, defeating the three-term Kuala Pilah incumbent, Hasan Malek.

Controversies

[edit]

In April 2021, Eddin Syazlee was embroiled in controversy when he was caught falling asleep during a convocation ceremony of a religious college in Seremban, of which he was the guest-of-honour. The local branch of his party BERSATU has since clarified that it was for health reasons.[4]

Death

At 7:10 MST on 20 September 2024, Eddin Syazlee died at his home in Bukit Chedang, Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia. He was 50. State Chairman of PN of Negeri Sembilan Mohamad Hanifah Abu Baker said that the health of Eddin Syazlee had been deteriorating over the past five months and he had been receiving medical treatment. His remains were taken to Masjid Chedang for prayers and later laid to rest at the Bandar Ainsdale Muslim Cemetery. He left behind his wife Nurul Azlin Ibrahim, two sons and a daughter.[5]
