- Her 2022 win is an official result with a documented margin, giving a verifiable electoral mandate.E1

Recommended next steps

- 2Check the Malaysian court registry (e-Court) and insolvency records for any civil, criminal or bankruptcy matter.
- 3Request the Perak State Legislative Assembly register of members' interests and any asset declaration filed with the state or the party.
- 4Search MACC announcements and Auditor-General/Public Accounts Committee material for references to the Bota constituency or state allocations.
- 5Review Perak state assembly Hansard (2022 onward) for her speeches, constituency development allocations and any declared interests.
- 6Confirm party posts and biography against PAS official publications and Election Commission candidate records rather than encyclopaedic sources.
Assessment
The available record is essentially official election results plus a handful of news reports: five contests between 2008 and 2022, all under PAS, with losses in Parit (2008, 2018), Belanja (2013) and Kuala Kangsar (2016), and a win in N40 Bota in 2022 with a 1,963-vote majority. Reporting establishes her as Perak PAS Muslimat chief in 2022 and PAS Women information chief in 2024, and documents campaign contact with senior PAS figures in 2016. No allegation, charge, litigation, regulatory finding or corporate role appears, but company-registry, asset, credit and court-registry checks are entirely absent, so those areas stay open. On this material her due-diligence profile is that of a state-level political office-holder with ordinary PEP exposure and no recorded integrity matter.
