Dato' Seri Amirudin bin Shari (Jawi: أمير الدين بن شاعري; born 8 February 1980) is a Malaysian politician who has served as the 16th Menteri Besar of Selangor since June 2018, Member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Sungai Tua since May 2018 and Member of Parliament (MP) for Gombak since November 2022. He served as Member of the Selangor State Executive Council (EXCO) in the Pakatan Rakyat (PR) and Pakatan Harapan (PH) state administrations under former Menteri Besar Azmin Ali from September 2014 to his promotion to the Menteri Besarship in June 2018 as well as the MLA for Batu Caves from March 2008 to May 2018. He is a member of the People's Justice Party (PKR), a component party of the PH and formerly PR coalitions.[1][2] He has also served as the Vice-President of PKR since July 2022[3] and State Chairman of PH of Selangor since March 2020 as well as of Pahang from September 2022 to August 2024.
He was the manager of the Selangor F.C. football team, leading the team in two consecutive Malaysia Cup finals, in 2015 and 2016.[4] The famous 33rd mission to win Malaysia Cup was accomplished in 2015 under his leadership.[5] Selangor was also the champion of 2016 Sukma under Amirudin.[6]
Amirudin won his first attempt in the electoral campaign in 2008 as a young candidate. He helped the Pakatan Rakyat coalition, consisted of People's Justice Party, Democratic Action Party, and Pan Islamic Party, to defeat Barisan Nasional for the first time in Selangor electoral history. In 2013, he retained the position as a member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly and became a member of Selangor State Executive Council, holding the portfolio for Youth Development, Sports, Cultural and Entrepreneurship Development.[4]
Due to his active involvement in People's Justice Party Youth's Wing since 2004, he had been chosen as the Vice Chief of the division. On 4 January 2014, Amirudin announced his candidacy for the PKR Youth Chief's post, teaming up with Afif Bahardin in AMK Baru line ups. He lost to Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad on the most excruciating campaign to date.
Even before being appointed the member of Selangor State Executive Council, Amirudin was actively involved with policy making, and state programmes for youths and sports. He was unofficially named Vice President of the Selangor State Executive Council along with Yunus Hairi and Jenice Lee. They founded the Penggerak Belia Tempatan (PeBT) (English: Local Youth Movement) initiative together, which engineered many of the youth programmes in Selangor. Amirudin was also appointed the Vice Chairman of the Selangor Sports Council during Khalid Ibrahim's tenure as Menteri Besar of Selangor, holding the position from 2008 until 2010.[4]
During his early involvement in social activism and politics, Amirudin campaigned on democracy, cultural, and students matters. Frequent sessions of open discussion with Komuniti Seni Jalan Telawi (KSJT) were held, with the goal to promote the arts and culture.[4]
