Dato' Seri Azlan bin Man (born 2 September 1958) is a Malaysian politician and diplomat who served as the 9th Menteri Besar of Perlis from May 2013 and Member of the Perlis State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Bintong from May 2018 to November 2022. He also served as the MLA for Pauh from May 2013 to May 2018. He is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition. He has also served as the State Chairman of BN of Perlis since April 2021. He also served as State Chairman of UMNO of Perlis from April 2021 to his removal from the position in March 2023.

Career

Azlan graduated from the University of Denver with a degree in international economics, before joining Malaysia's diplomatic corps. His diplomatic posts included an appointment in 1999 as Malaysia's Permanent Mission Counsellor to the United Nations.[1][2] In 2011 he was appointed the Deputy Director of the Public Complaints Bureau.[3] He left Malaysia's public service in 2013 to return to his home state of Perlis and contest the state assembly seat of Pauh. He won the election and was immediately appointed as the state's Menteri Besar (Chief Minister), replacing Md Isa Sabu, who had not recontested his assembly seat. He was sworn in by King Sirajuddin on 7 May 2013.[1]

In the 2018 elections, BN and Azlan (who this time contesting in Bintong) was again victorious in the state, and was sworn in for his second term as the Menteri Besar by the King of Perlis on 24 May 2018. However this time his appointment was controversial, as the ceremony was boycotted by other BN MLAs, who named Ismail Kassim as their Menteri Besar choice.[4] The BN state chief, Shahidan Kassim, later that day announced that Azlan was sacked as UMNO and BN member, and become an independent;[5] however Azlan disputes the announcement, saying he had not received official sacking letter from UMNO and he is still with UMNO and BN.[6] The 9 BN MLAs later retracted their boycott of Azlan and announced their support for him, on 5 June 2018.[7]

In the 2022 elections, Azlan was defeated by Perikatan Nasional-PAS candidate in Bintong, with BN wiped out of the state as none of their candidates won in the election.

Controversies and issues

Corruption

On 9 April 2023, it was reported that Azlan would be charged with corruption in the Sessions Court of Kangar on 10 April 2023. According to e-kehakiman website, Azlan was named as the accused to be charged before judge Norsalha Hamzah. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) also confirmed his charge. According to media reports, he was expected to be charged under Section 18 of the MACC Act 2009.[8][9][10] On 10 April 2023, Azlan was charged with submitting documents that are false or contain false details specifically false claims amounting to RM1.185mil for his trip to the United Kingdom from 2013 to 2017 with the intention of deceiving. However, Azlan pleaded not guilty.[11]
