He was also the [[Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture (Malaysia)|Minister of Tourism and Culture]] from May 2013 to May 2018, [[Minister in the Prime Minister's Department]] in charge of legal affairs from March 2004 to May 2013, [[Minister of Entrepreneur Development (Malaysia)|Minister of Entrepreneur Development]] from December 1999 to March 2004, [[Ministry of Finance (Malaysia)|Deputy Minister of Finance I]] from November 1996 to December 1999, [[Minister in the Prime Minister's Department|Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department]] from May 1995 to November 1996 and the [[Dewan Rakyat|Member of Parliament]] (MP) for [[Padang Rengas (federal constituency)|Padang Rengas]] from March 2004 to November 2022.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.parlimen.gov.my/DewRakyat_KedAhli_detail.php?id=42|title=Mohamed Nazri bin Tan Sri Abdul Aziz, Y.B.

== Early life and education ==

Mohamed Nazri bin Abdul Aziz was born in [[Kuala Kangsar]], [[Perak]], [[Malaysia]]. He is the alumnus of [[Malay College Kuala Kangsar]]. He has an educational background in law and is qualified as a barrister of [[Lincoln's Inn]].

== Political career ==
Nazri was described as the [[Hatchet man (politics)|hatchetman]] for then prime minister [[Abdullah Ahmad Badawi]] by [[Mahathir Mohamad]].<ref name="attitude">{{cite web|url=http://www.malaysiandigest.com/archived/index.php/25-features/commentary/25244-nazri-aziz-brutally-honest-or-downright-arrogant.html|title=Nazri Aziz: Brutally Honest or Downright Arrogant?|author=Aidil Syukri|publisher=Malaysian Digest|date=13 April 2011|accessdate=13 June 2017|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170613075503/http://www.malaysiandigest.com/archived/index.php/25-features/commentary/25244-nazri-aziz-brutally-honest-or-downright-arrogant.html|archivedate=13 June 2017|url-status=usurped}}</ref>

In 2009, a photo of a woman and a man, alleged to be Nazri, in a compromising position was posted on a blog. Nazri refused to comment when contacted by the media but politicians close to him denied that it was Nazri in the photo.<ref>{{cite web |date=14 March 2009 |title=Man in photo with woman ‘not Nazri’ |url=http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/3/14/nation/3478207&sec=nation |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090316135911/http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=%2F2009%2F3%2F14%2Fnation%2F3478207&sec=nation |archivedate=16 March 2009 |accessdate=27 September 2009 |publisher=The Star |df=dmy-all}}</ref>

In 2010, he came out openly in the defence of Prime Minister Najib's [[1Malaysia]] policy, saying that he is a "Malaysian first and a Malay next". This was an inverse of then deputy prime minister [[Muhyiddin Yassin]]'s statement that he was Malay first and Malaysian second.<ref name="attitude" />

In 2016, he was criticised for his decision of threatening to stop tourism funding from his ministry to [[Sabah]] and [[Sarawak]] if both the states did not implement a proposed tourism service tax fee of between [[Malaysian ringgit|RM]]5 and RM30 on each hotel room booking.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dailyexpress.com.my/news.cfm?NewsID=112570|title=New daily hotel fee plan but Sabah can opt out|publisher=Daily Express|date=4 September 2016|accessdate=6 September 2016}}</ref>

Following criticism over his tourism tax fee plan by Sarawak State Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Minister [[Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah]], Nazri responded by referring to the Karim as a “[[:wikt:greenhorn|greenhorn]]” and “behaving like a [[gangster]]”.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://m.utusan.com.my/berita/wilayah/sarawak/abdul-karim-kesal-digelar-setahun-jagung-8217-oleh-nazri-1.492445|title=Abdul Karim kesal digelar `setahun jagung’ oleh Nazri|language=Malay|publisher=Utusan Malaysia|date=12 June 2017|accessdate=13 June 2017}}</ref> His response received backlash from other government-allied parties.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theborneopost.com/2017/06/12/nazris-statement-on-abd-karim-rude-fadillah/|title=Nazri’s statement on Abd Karim rude – Fadillah|author=Jonathan Chia|publisher=The Borneo Post|date=12 June 2017|accessdate=13 June 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.astroawani.com/berita-malaysia/anifah-aman-nasihat-nazri-elak-guris-hati-rakyat-sarawak-sabah-145983|title=Anifah Aman nasihat Nazri elak guris hati rakyat Sarawak, Sabah|author=Shafizan Johari|language=Malay|publisher=Astro Awani|date=12 June 2017|accessdate=13 June 2017}}</ref> As a result of his comment, the [[Government of Sarawak|Sarawak state government]] made a decision to withdraw their participation from [[Tourism Malaysia]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.theborneopost.com/2017/06/12/state-govt-withdrawing-participation-of-representative-in-tourism-malaysia/|title=State govt withdrawing participation of representative in Tourism Malaysia|publisher=The Borneo Post|date=12 June 2017|accessdate=13 June 2017}}</ref>

Nazri has called for the seasonal flooding in [[Kelantan]] to be turned into tourist attractions on two occasions, eliciting backlash.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-06-18 |title=Nazri says floods can be turned into 'voluntourism' attractions, gets slammed on social media |url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2022/06/18/nazri-says-floods-can-be-turned-into-039voluntourism039-attractions-gets-slammed-on-social-media |access-date=2025-04-15 |website=The Star |language=en}}</ref><ref name="Flood">{{Cite web|last=Ghazali|first=N.

In 2019, Nazri questioned the appointment of non-Muslims to the posts of Attorney General, Chief Justice and Finance Minister during a campaign speech, describing it as a threat to the [[Article 153 of the Constitution of Malaysia|position of Malays]] in the country. He also warned [[Bumiputera (Malaysia)|non-Bumiputeras]] not to question the special rights afforded to the Malay population, using vernacular schools as an example of special rights given to non-Malays. He further stated that if non-Malays wanted to abolish the special rights afforded to the Malay population, vernacular schools would need to be closed to make it fair.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Chie|first=Kow Gah|date=2019-02-24|title=Nazri reaches for racial playbook in Semenyih|url=https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/465361|access-date=|website=Malaysiakini}}</ref> When questioned about his statement on closing vernacular schools by media, he claimed to have been taken out of context.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Perimbanayagam|first=Kalbana|date=2019-02-25|title=Vernacular school issue taken out of context: Nazri|url=https://www.nst.com.my/news/politics/2019/02/463642/vernacular-school-issue-taken-out-context-nazri|access-date=|website=NST Online|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Lee|first=Annabelle|date=2019-02-25|title=Nazri claims media misquoted him on call to close vernacular schools|url=https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/465576|access-date=|website=Malaysiakini}}</ref>

In January 2021 during the [[2020–2022 Malaysian political crisis]], Nazri publicly announced that he was withdrawing his support as a member of parliament for the then-ruling [[Perikatan Nasional]] government of [[Muhyiddin Yassin]], which the [[United Malays National Organisation]] (UMNO) participated in through [[Barisan Nasional]] as a junior partner. He also stated that a majority of Barisan Nasional MPs did not want the coalition's chairman, [[Ahmad Zahid Hamidi]], as their spokesman. Amid reports that UMNO MPs were being summoned to withdraw their support for the government by August the same year, Nazri reversed his earlier decision and announced that he was in support of the incumbent administration, citing the party's general assembly's resolution to do so until the next election.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2021/07/02/nazri-does-a-u-turn-supports-pm-now/|publisher=Free Malaysia Today|title=Nazri does a u-turn supports PM}}</ref>

==Personal life==

He is married and has a daughter and three sons named Ferasha Mohamed Nazri, Mohamed Ferhad Mohamed Nazri and Mohamed Nedim Mohamed Nazri. Then, he married Haflin Saiful and has a son named Jean Pierre Azize Mohamed Nazri.

In January 2021, Nazri was tested positive for [[COVID-19]] and warded at the Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab in Kota Baru.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2021/01/19/umno-mp-nazri-aziz-warded-for-covid-19-at-kb-hospital/1941830|title=Umno MP Nazri Aziz warded for Covid-19 at KB hospital|author=|date=January 19, 2021|publisher=[[Malay Mail]]|access-date=January 19, 2021}}</ref>
