Political career
UMNO Youth leadership
Noor Azleen has been active in UMNO politics since 2013, when he served as a member of the board of trustees for Yayasan Pasir Gudang (2013–2018). He was elected as Chief of UMNO Youth and Barisan Nasional Youth for Pasir Gudang in June 2018, a position he continues to hold. In September 2021, he was elected to the executive committee (Exco) of UMNO Youth Malaysia.
In 2023, Noor Azleen was appointed as Chief of the UMNO Youth Movement for the state of Johor for the 2023–2026 session, making him one of twelve state UMNO Youth chiefs across Malaysia.
Pasir Gudang City Council (2020–2022)
Noor Azleen served as a councillor at the Pasir Gudang City Council (MBPG) from November 2020 to November 2022, representing Zone Scientex 2. During the same period, fellow UMNO Pasir Gudang figure Baharudin Mohamed Taib served as Whip of the MBPG (2020–2021). Baharudin subsequently won the Permas (N.43) state seat in GE15, with both figures emerging as prominent UMNO leaders from the Pasir Gudang division simultaneously active in local governance and state politics.
2022 general election (GE15)
In the 15th Malaysian General Election (GE15) held on 19 November 2022, Noor Azleen contested the Pasir Gudang parliamentary seat (P159) under the Barisan Nasional (UMNO) ticket, using the campaign slogan Pasir Gudang KITA PUNYA! ("Pasir Gudang Is Ours!") under the theme of Kestabilan & Kemakmuran (Stability and Prosperity). It was his first contest in a general election. He obtained 37,369 votes (25.03%), finishing third behind the winner Hassan Abdul Karim of Pakatan Harapan (PKR) who polled 71,233 votes (47.72%), and Perikatan Nasional candidate Mohamad Farid Abdul Razak who obtained 39,675 votes (26.58%).
Public statements and advocacy
As Johor UMNO Youth chief, Noor Azleen has been a regular voice on national issues. In March 2024, he took a notably conciliatory stance on the controversy involving socks printed with the word "Allah", expressing hope that the incident could become a positive opportunity for Malaysians to better understand each other — a position that diverged from the harder line taken by UMNO Youth national leadership at the time.
In April 2024, Johor UMNO Youth divisions under his leadership lodged police reports over a social media post alleged to have insulted the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim of Johor.
In October 2025, he called on the government and relevant stakeholders to urgently address what he described as a systemic failure in national school safety following a series of serious crimes in schools.
In May 2026, Noor Azleen challenged DAP deputy national chairman Nga Kor Ming to be consistent in his stance on appointed state assemblymen, asserting that if Nga opposed such appointments in Johor, he should equally demand that Pakatan Harapan's appointed assemblymen in Pahang and Sabah resign. The issue attracted further national media coverage, with Free Malaysia Today reporting on his challenge to Nga over the consistency of positions on appointed legislators.
