Due-diligence summary

AI-prepared from 11 records · 22 Oct 2026

Current

Member of the Dewan Rakyat for Gua Musang (P32), elected 2022; recorded as an independent politician since June 2024.N9 N6
Former member of the Kelantan State Legislative Assembly for Nenggiri (N43), 2023 to 2024, when the seat was declared vacant.N8 N4 E1

Overall due diligence

High

Enhanced due diligence required

The records show a sitting MP whose party membership ended, whose state seat was declared vacant, and who is litigating that vacancy, so enhanced due diligence is warranted for what the records show rather than for any gap.

Electoral resilience

Medium

Two recorded wins but both narrow: Gua Musang by 163 votes in 2022 and Nenggiri by 810 votes in 2023. No later contest result appears in the records.

Political continuity

High change

Elected for BERSATU/PN, declared support for the Prime Minister's government in November 2023, then his BERSATU membership ended in June 2024 and he has been an independent since.

Integrity signal

Review

The records contain a civil court challenge over party membership and the seat vacancy, but no corruption, criminal or regulatory allegation; no outcome is recorded.

Financial / corporate

Open

The records contain no company-registry, asset-declaration, credit or GLC checks, so corporate and financial exposure cannot be assessed.

Litigation & legal matters

Challenge to BERSATU membership cessation and the Nenggiri seat vacancy

Reported application seeking a declaration that Articles 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 of the BERSATU constitution breached his rights to equality and freedom of association, and contending that his membership cessation and the Kelantan Speaker's vacancy declaration were invalid; he also sought to stop the Nenggiri by-election.N2 N3

Status: The Kuala Lumpur High Court refused an ad-interim injunction on 27 June 2024 and the full injunction application was set for hearing on 7 August 2024; no outcome appears in the records.

Key findings

Core facts about the vacancy and his court challenge come from single-source or encyclopaedic records rather than official documents.N2 N4 N7 N8

Mitigating factors

No corruption allegation, charge, conviction or regulatory finding appears in the records.N3 N5
The court matter is a civil dispute over party membership and the seat vacancy, not a criminal or integrity proceeding.N3
Both electoral results rest on official results rather than on reporting.E1 E2

Recommended next steps

1Obtain the cause papers and Orders from the Kuala Lumpur High Court registry for the injunction suit, including the 27 June 2024 refusal and the outcome of the 7 August 2024 hearing.
2Confirm with the Election Commission (SPR) the official Nenggiri by-election result and the current status of the Gua Musang seat.
3Run an SSM company search for directorships and shareholdings in his name, and any liquidated or struck-off companies.
4Check MACC and Attorney-General's Chambers releases and the criminal court registries for any investigation, charge or disposal involving him.
5Review Dewan Rakyat Hansard and the Register of Members' Interests for declared assets, party status and any recorded statements on the vacancy.
6Obtain the Dewan Rakyat Speaker's and BERSATU's written positions on his membership cessation to establish the basis for the vacancy and by-election.

Assessment

The public record shows a two-seat politician: MP for Gua Musang since 2022 and Kelantan assemblyman for Nenggiri in 2023-24, both on narrow official-result margins. It also shows a clear political rupture — a declared shift of support to the Prime Minister's government in 2023, the end of his BERSATU membership and the declared vacancy of his state seat in June 2024, and a pending High Court challenge in which an ad-interim injunction was refused. Nothing in the records alleges corruption or records any charge, but the seat-vacancy litigation is unresolved and financial and corporate exposure is entirely uncovered, so enhanced due diligence is appropriate.
