Background

Haniza was born 12 November 1962 in Batu Gajah, Perak. She received her early education in Perak and Penang, furthering her studies in architecture at the University of Sheffield, United Kingdom.

She used to work as a translator and writer on the Malaysia Today website.

In the 12th General Election in 2008 she was elected to be the State Assemblyman (ADN) for the Taman Medan area, Selangor, until 2013. She was also appointed as the Deputy Speaker of the Selangor State Assembly in 2008, then became the first woman to hold office that.

Haniza was also a member of the Selangor Select Committee on Capability, Accountability and Transparency (Selcat). In Parti Keadilan Rakyat (Keadilan) Haniza is the Selangor State Women's Justice Chief.

She married Shahrudin Omar and had seven children.

Community Figure

As an elected representative, Haniza is highly respected for her concern in addressing local community issues in Taman Medan. She is very concerned with the welfare of senior citizens by implementing various community programs with them, including the Golden Age Friendly Scheme and the Jom Shopping program.

People with disabilities are also helped by her through the provision of free health cards and the provision of various infrastructure facilities such as 'ramp' for wheelchairs, and a special parking area at the Taman Medan People's Service Center.

In the education sector, he seeks a lot of assistance to schools including SJK (C) Chen Moh, SJK (C) Yuk Chun, SRA Ibnu Rushd and KAFA Integrasi.

To look after the welfare of young people, Haniza successfully created the Youth Square for youth sports and recreation facilities. The 'Homework Room' was built to help the children of the residents do their academic work while being monitored by the volunteer staff. Haniza also cares about building a balanced youth, by implementing the Taman Medan Progressive Student Program and the Selangor Dream Generation Program (GeMS).

Deputy Speaker of the State Assembly

Haniza's appointment as the Deputy Speaker of the Selangor State Assembly in 2008 has made history in Malaysia as the first woman to hold the post in any state. The announcement on the appointment was made by Selangor Menteri Besar Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim on 20 April 2008.

Haniza's achievement is mentioned as being the pride of women, especially in Taman Medan, either from her own party or the Barisan Nasional (BN) party.

Toll Reduction NPE PJS2

Haniza won the insistence of the people of Taman Medan to abolish the toll on the New Pantai Expressway (NPE) at PJS2. This toll which charges RM1.60 is said to burden the residents who make NPE the main route. The toll is also said to have caused congestion and accidents in the area. Through a press conference held at his office on May 7, 2008, Haniza urged the federal government to look into the issue.

This insistence was also supported by the locals (including those from the UMNO party) who staged a protest on 7 February 2009.

These insistence efforts bore fruit on 14 February 2009 when the federal government agreed to abolish tolls on the road, in the lane leading to Kuala Lumpur. However, tolls in the lanes towards Subang Jaya and Kelana Jaya were maintained.

Haniza continued its efforts to lobby the federal government to abolish tolls in both lanes as according to her, congestion and security problems were not resolved with the closure of only one lane.

Finally, on 17 February 2001, the federal government announced the reduction of tolls on the highway leading to Subang Jaya and Kelana Jaya, from RM1.60 to RM1.00.

The NPE is 19.5 kilometers long, opened since April 30, 2004. It is worth RM1.2 billion and is operated by the concessionaire New Pantai Express Way Sdn Bhd.

The result was that Haniza won the contest by garnering 20,478 votes (equivalent to 3,731 majority votes), indicating that she had won the trust of the residents of Taman Medan whom she represented in the previous term.

In the 14th Malaysian general election dated 9 May 2018, Haniza managed to seize the Lembah Jaya Selangor State Assembly seat from PAS. She got 22,512 votes and won with a majority of 14,790 votes defeating three other candidates - one from the Barisan Nasional party, one from the PAS party who was also the incumbent in the previous term, Khasim Abdul Aziz and another Parti Rakyat Malaysia candidate.
