Current
Overall due diligence
Moderate
Enhanced due diligence required
The records show a sitting MP who is also chairman of a public cooperative institute and political secretary to the PKR president, creating real PEP exposure, while no adverse legal, integrity or financial matters appear in the records.
Electoral resilience
Low
One win in four contested general-election/state contests: lost Sembrong in 2013 and 2018, won Batu Pahat in 2022 with a 15,972 majority, and lost Senggarang in 2026.
Political continuity
Stable
Contested throughout under PKR, as PKR/PR in 2013 and PKR/PH from 2018 to 2026, with no party change recorded.
Integrity signal
Clear
The records contain no charges, convictions, allegations or investigations concerning him. The only irregularity mentioned is a 'phantom vote' claim he himself raised as a candidate in 2026.
Financial / corporate
Open
The records contain no company-registry, asset-declaration, credit or court-registry checks and no reported directorships. The only corporate-adjacent item is the reported chairmanship of IKMa, a public cooperative institute.
How much due-diligence attention each area needs — not a finding of wrongdoing.
Sitting MP, chairman of a public cooperative institute and political secretary to the PKR president; the exposure follows from the offices held.
Holds a party leadership-office role and has contested four elections, though records document few specific relationships.
No procurement, contract or tender dealings are documented in the records.
Reported chairmanship of IKMa places him in a public institution role, but no private company directorships are recorded.
No civil or criminal matters appear in the records, and no court-registry check is covered.
No regulatory or criminal findings are recorded, and no MACC or regulatory-agency check is covered.
No asset declaration, income or financial-disclosure material is contained in the records.
Coverage in the records is limited to election results, the IKMa appointment and his own polling-day complaint, with no adverse reporting.
The public record is limited largely to official election results: three defeats (Sembrong 2013 and 2018, Senggarang 2026) and one convincing win (Batu Pahat 2022, majority 15,972), where he has sat as MP since November 2022. Single-source reporting adds a PKR political-secretary post since April 2024 and a chairmanship of Institut Koperasi Malaysia effective 1 May, both of which raise PEP and public-institution exposure without any adverse finding. No litigation, regulatory, criminal or financial matters appear, but those areas are unexamined rather than cleared, so enhanced verification of corporate, court and asset records is warranted.
