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.
