No current role in the records collected so far.
Overall due diligence
Insufficient evidence
Records consist only of three official election results and three news items on a party switch; there is no reporting on assets, corporate roles, litigation, regulatory matters or public-procurement exposure, which is too thin to support a substantive assessment.
Electoral resilience
Medium
Won N27 Layang-Layang in 2013 (UMNO/BN, majority 2,518) and 2022 (UMNO/BN, majority 2,815); lost the same seat in 2026 on a BERSATU/PN ticket with 1,993 votes.
Political continuity
Elevated
Confirmed move from UMNO to BERSATU/PN, reported as a quit-and-join ahead of the 2026 Johor state election.
Integrity signal
Open
No integrity-related reporting is present in the records; absence of records is not evidence of a clean record.
Financial / corporate
Open
No company-registry, asset-disclosure, beneficial-ownership or audited financial checks are in the records.
