He is an official member cum Sabah state liaison chairman of the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS). At the party level, he is the State Commissioner of Sabah since November 2023. He was previously a senior lecturer of the Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Heritage, Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS). In 2020, he was recognised by Sabahans as the first ever Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) member who become a nominated assemblyman for the Sabah State Legislative Assembly (ADUN), an appointment which contrary to certain claims, was quite well-received by Sabahans, but not all welcomed the appointment, owing that it marked the ire of some Sabahans especially those who did not support the said party.
