Khlir bin Mohd Nor (born 4 July 1958) is a Malaysian politician and former military officer who has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Ketereh since November 2022. He is a member of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), a component party of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition.[1]
In the 2022 general election, Khlir made his electoral debut after being nominated by PN to contest for the Ketereh federal seat. He won the seat and was elected to Parliament as the Ketereh MP after defeating Marzuani Ardilla Ariffin of Barisan Nasional (BN), Rahimi L Muhamud of Pakatan Harapan (PH) and Haneef Ibrahim of Gerakan Tanah Air (GTA) by a majority of 23,107 votes.[2]
There were rumours that Khlir was to be nominated as the new Leader of the Opposition to replace Hamzah Zainudin by Chairman of PN Muhyiddin Yassin after a political fallout between Muhyiddin and Hamzah on which direction should BERSATU go to and who the candidate for the Menteri Besar of Selangor in the 2023 Selangor state election is. They were however rubbished by Muhyiddin.
