Current
Overall due diligence
Moderate
Enhanced due diligence required
Records show a senior executive office-holder (deputy minister and MP) whose electoral win was challenged in court, but corporate, asset and registry checks are entirely absent from the record.
Electoral resilience
Medium
One recorded contest: won Segamat in 2022 with 23,437 votes and a 5,669 majority. A petition against that win was dismissed and then discontinued, but only a single election result is on record.
Political continuity
Stable
Records show PKR/Pakatan Harapan affiliation throughout, with no party or coalition change documented. He appears as a deputy minister in the post-2022 unity government set-up.
Integrity signal
Clear
No allegation, charge or conviction appears in the records. The only court matter is an election petition against his 2022 victory, which was dismissed and later discontinued.
Financial / corporate
Open
Records contain no company-registry, GLC, asset-declaration, credit or bankruptcy checks. No corporate or financial holdings are documented either way.
How much due-diligence attention each area needs — not a finding of wrongdoing.
Sitting MP and deputy minister, which is senior public office carrying inherent PEP exposure.

Coverage in the records is limited to routine official statements on a festival event and on 3R issues.
MIC candidate M Ramasamy petitioned against the 2022 Segamat result. The Muar election court dismissed the petition on 3 April 2023; the Federal Court set that verdict aside on 18 August 2023 and ordered a full hearing.N7N6N5
Status: Ended — on 8 November 2023 the Election Court allowed the petitioner's application to discontinue, closing the challenge.
The records establish a first-term Pakatan Harapan MP for Segamat who has since become Deputy Minister of National Unity. His 2022 victory was challenged by an MIC candidate through an election petition that was dismissed, restored on appeal and ultimately discontinued in November 2023, with no adverse finding recorded against him. Beyond the election result, the petition chronology and two 2026 statements as deputy minister, the public record supplied is thin, and corporate, financial, procurement and registry checks are entirely uncovered. Enhanced due diligence is warranted mainly because of his senior office and the gaps in the record, not because of any documented integrity issue.
