Current
Overall due diligence
High
Enhanced due diligence required
A senior office-holder whose records show unresolved 2025 charges over MARA-related statements and a 2026 consent judgment for defamatory statements, so enhanced due diligence is warranted.
Electoral resilience
Medium
Won Masjid Tanah in 2013, 2018 and 2022, but the majority fell from 16,200 to 8,159 to 4,411.
Political continuity
Elevated
Moved from UMNO/BN to Bersatu in 2018, then was suspended for six years and gave up her division post in 2026; her party position is unsettled.
Integrity signal
Concern
Two 2025 charges over MARA-related statements remain at charge stage with no conviction recorded; a 2026 defamation suit ended in a consent judgment to pay MARA RM50,000. A 2023 election petition against her was dismissed with costs after bribery was not proven.
Financial / corporate
Open
No company-registry, asset, credit or GLC checks appear in the records; the only corporate link is a reported 2004 law-firm partnership and the RM50,000 consent-judgment payment.
How much due-diligence attention each area needs — not a finding of wrongdoing.
Sitting MP, PAC chairperson and three-time former deputy minister.
Held senior Bersatu posts and is documented inside the party's 2026 factional conflict, now under a six-year suspension.
Chairs PAC scrutiny of procurement such as the Spanco vehicle concession and the MLFF project, an oversight rather than spending role.
Records document only a reported 2004 law-firm partnership and no GLC, company or foundation directorships.
A dismissed election petition, a 2026 consent judgment for defamation paying MARA RM50,000, and pending 2025 charges.
Charges are on record from May 2025 but no conviction appears in the records.
No asset declarations, statements of beneficial ownership or credit checks are covered by the records.
Coverage includes a 'traitor' label, a reported unfounded claim about permanent residents, the MARA dispute and her party suspension.
Abdul Hakim Abdul Wahid's petition was returned to the High Court by the Federal Court for a full trial after an earlier postponement.N16N17N18
Status: Dismissed on 27 October 2023 with RM50,000 costs; the court found vote buying and bribery not proven beyond reasonable doubt.
Reported to concern false and defamatory statements against politicians involved and against MARA; settled by consent judgment in the Melaka High Court.N20N21
Status: Consent judgment on 6 April 2026 requiring payment of RM50,000 compensation to MARA.
Charges concern raising cuts to the hafazan programme, alleging MARA no longer funds TVET students, and accusing the MARA chairman of misappropriating funds through unofficial visits.N22N23
Status: Charges only; no conviction or disposal appears in the records.
The public record shows a long-serving MP and former three-time deputy minister who now chairs the PAC and is documented scrutinising procurement and audit findings. Against that sit unresolved 2025 charges over MARA-related statements, a 2026 consent judgment to pay MARA RM50,000, and a six-year Bersatu suspension, while an election petition against her 2022 win was dismissed with costs. Corporate, asset and credit records are not covered, so financial-transparency exposure remains open and enhanced checks are appropriate.

Sabah · PAC probe into Auditor General's Report findings on the Pan Borneo Highway · 2026
Where it stands · latest report 19 Oct 2026
As of 19 Oct 2026, PAC has announced it will probe Phase 1 of the Sabah Pan Borneo Highway (706km, 35 work packages) after the 2026 Series 2 Auditor-General's Report, and has said it will summon witnesses from the Works Ministry, JKR including JKR Sabah, and other agencies; the inquiry is under way as a plan, but no article reports that any witness has actually been called or that hearings have begun. The committee is focusing on RM10.547 billion (94.6% of RM11.153 billion) paid out against 11.4% physical progress, with nine packages "sick" and 13 behind schedule.
How it unfolded
Mas Ermieyati announced on 19 Oct 2026, as PAC chair, that the committee would investigate Phase 1 of the Sabah Pan Borneo Highway following the AG's Series 2/2026 findings and would summon witnesses from the Works Ministry, Public Works Department (including JKR Sabah) and other agencies to testify, with findings possibly referred to MACC or the police. Both reporting on that day (Malaysiakini, The Vibes, 19 Oct 2026) describe the probe as something PAC "will launch" and the witness summons as a stated plan, and neither reports any witness actually being called or any sitting held. The underlying road is still unfinished — 31 of 35 packages worth RM16.32 billion were still under implementation as of 31 March 2026, nine of them "sick" — so the subject of the promised hearings is live but the promised summons has not yet been carried out on the record. With no stated deadline for the hear
