Noor Effandi bin Ahmad is a Malaysian politician who served as Member of the Malacca State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Telok Mas from May 2018 to November 2021 and Member of the Malacca State Executive Council (EXCO) from May 2018 to March 2020 for the first time and again from March 2020 to his resignation in October 2021.[2]

He is an independent politician and was a member of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), a component party of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition and previously Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition. The 2020 Malaysian political crisis dubbed 'Sheraton Move', which overthrew the PH state administration, which he had followed suit.[3][4] During his only MLA tenure, he served two times as member of EXCO, from May 2018 to March 2020 for the first time under PH[5] and again from March 2020 to October 2021 for the second time under BN-PN administrations.[6]

On 5 October 2021, BERSATU membership of Noor Effandi was automatically dropped for blatantly stating his loss of support for the BN state government under Chief Minister Sulaiman Md Ali.[7][8] He and three other MLAs also withdrew support for the Malacca state government,[9] triggering the state assembly dissolution and subsequent snap 2021 Malacca state election.[10][11]

BERSATU reinstated Noor Effandi’ membership in January, 2024. As of May, 2025, he is entrusted to lead a Biro under Information Committee of Melaka State’s BERSATU.
