He also holds the position of State Vice Commissioner of Selangor within PAS, and serves as Yang Dipertua (chief) of the PAS Bangi division [2]. He previously represented the Bangi state constituency from May 2013 to May 2018 under the Pakatan Rakyat coalition, during which he was elected Deputy Speaker of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly in September 2014, a post he held until April 2018 [1]. In the 2018 General Election (GE14), he contested the Bangi parliamentary seat under the PAS ticket, receiving 18.9% of the vote share in a three-cornered contest [3]. He returned to the Selangor DUN in August 2023 after winning the N26 Sungai Ramal seat in the Selangor state election, defeating incumbent Mazwan Johar (Amanah/PH) with 41.3% of votes cast, a majority of 7,767 votes [3]. He is currently a member of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) opposition bloc in the Selangor DUN, where the PH-led state government holds a commanding majority.

Known for

Mohd Shafie Ngah is known as a senior PAS figure in Selangor who served as Deputy Speaker of the Selangor DUN during the Pakatan Rakyat era (2014–2018). He now represents the opposition in the Sungai Ramal state seat under the Perikatan Nasional banner. He has been an active voice for opposition participation in state development governance processes [4].

Political positions

Mohd Shafie Ngah holds that the PN opposition in the Selangor DUN should be included in district-level development committee and local authority meetings, arguing that elected representatives — regardless of coalition — have a responsibility to remain informed about development in their constituencies [4]. He has expressed the view that exclusion of opposition lawmakers from such meetings reflects poorly on democratic governance by the state government [4]. Prior to the 2023 Selangor state election, he argued that PN was well-positioned to challenge PH's hold on Selangor, citing PAS's record of co-governing the state under Pakatan Rakyat from 2008 to 2018 [2].
