Nik Nazmi bin Nik Ahmad (born 12 January 1982) is a Malaysian politician and currently serves as the Parti Keadilan Rakyat Youth Leader; Selangor State Executive Councillor for Education, Human Capital Development, Science, Technology and Innovation; and State Assemblyman for Seri Setia.
He grew up in the suburb of Petaling Jaya. He received his education at La Salle in Kuala Lumpur before being admitted into the Malay College Kuala Kangsar. After graduating from MCKK he underwent a preparatory program at Kolej Yayasan UEM where he was the Student Council President under Permodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB) scholarship. Upon completion of his A-levels in KYUEM he was admitted into King's College London to read law.
In the United Kingdom, he became active in his college's Labour Student Society and the Federation of Students Islamic Societies (FOSIS). Among the Malaysian students in the UK he was also secretary of the Malaysian Law Students Union, vice-chairman of the United Kingdom and Eire Council for Malaysian Students (UKEC) and volunteered with Projek Kalsom.
Upon his return to Malaysia, he served his bond with PNB for almost a year before resigning to concentrate on his political career. He repaid PNB for the scholarship. His father, a big fan of Nik Nazmi, re-mortgaged his house in Petaling Jaya in order to repay the scholarship.
He has columns in the Edge, Sinar Harian, the Oriental Daily and The Malaysian Insider.
In 2009 Marshall Cavendish published his book Moving Forward: Malays for the 21st Century. It was also published in Malay as Mendepani Zaman: Melayu untuk Abad ke-21. In 2011, he published Coming of Age: A Decade of Essays 2001–2011.
