Current
Overall due diligence
Moderate
Enhanced due diligence required
The records show a national-level office-holder (MP, party information chief, former senator) with no adverse legal or integrity matter, but corporate, financial, procurement and litigation coverage is absent, so enhanced checks are warranted.
Electoral resilience
Medium
Won Jerantut in GE15 (2022) with 31,701 votes and a majority of 8,092; lost Gombak in GE14 (2018) with 17,537 votes.
Political continuity
Stable
PAS throughout, contesting under GS in 2018 and PN in 2022; held PN Youth chief 2020-22 and PAS information chief from 2021.
Integrity signal
Clear
The records contain no allegation, charge, investigation or court matter concerning him. This reflects only the material supplied and is not a clean-record finding.
Financial / corporate
Open
No company, GLC, asset-declaration, credit or registry records are supplied; the only corporate-adjacent items are education at Universiti Teknologi Petronas.
How much due-diligence attention each area needs — not a finding of wrongdoing.
Sitting MP, PAS information chief, central committee member and former senator and PN Youth chief — the exposure flows from the offices held.
Documented roles in PAS and PN structures and a cross-party task-force appointment proposed by the transport minister.
Records show parliamentary questions and policy proposals only, with no tender, contract or procurement role.
No directorships, GLC appointments, shareholdings or business interests are documented in the records.
No civil or criminal court matter appears in the records; no court-registry check is covered.
No charge, sanction or regulatory finding is recorded, and no MACC or enforcement record is covered.
No asset declaration, income or funding disclosure is included in the records.
Coverage in the records is policy and constituency focused, with no adverse reporting.
The records establish a PAS/PN national office-holder: MP for Jerantut since 2022, PAS information chief since 2021, central committee member, former senator (2020-2022) and former PN Youth chief. His recorded public activity is parliamentary and policy work — transport safety, wage policy, cost of living, energy — plus a cross-party appointment to the Teluk Intan FRU crash task force. No allegation, charge, litigation or integrity matter appears anywhere in the material, but the record is largely single-source reporting and encyclopaedic entries, so corporate, financial, procurement and court-registry positions remain entirely open. Enhanced due diligence should focus on registry, litigation and asset-declaration checks rather than on any known adverse matter.
