Politics[edit | edit source]
He started venturing into politics by joining PAS. Among his important positions in PAS, include as Johor PAS Youth Council Chief, Central PAS Youth Council Information Chief, Gelang Patah PAS Youth Council Chief, Pulai PAS Committee Member and Pos Malaysia Voting Committee Chairman.
He was appointed as the Speaker of the Johor State Legislative Assembly by former Menteri Besar Osman Sapian from Pakatan Harapan (PH) on 28 June 2018 after Barisan Nasional (BN) state administration was overthrown in 2018 state election and has been retained as Speaker by Menteri Besar Hasni Mohammad from BN even the PH state administration was overthrown by BN in February 2020. Hence, this became one of a few cases which the speaker is from the opposition instead of either being independent or from the government. He was the only speaker from the opposition in Malaysia. After BN returned to the state government following its victory in the 2022 Johor state election, he and Gan Peck Cheng were not reappointed as speaker and deputy speaker of the assembly.
