Political career

Tuan Ibrahim is an alim (Islamic religious scholar).[2] He contested and won the Pahang State Legislative Assembly seat of Jengka in the 1999 election.[3] However, in the 2004 election, he was unseated amid a nationwide swing to the Barisan Nasional coalition.[4] He tried to reclaim the seat in the 2008 and 2013 elections, but lost on each occasion to a Barisan Nasional candidate.[5][6] In 2013 he became a vice-president of PAS, defeating Mahfuz Omar in an election at the party's annual general assembly.[2] He has been the head of the party in the state of Pahang since 2004.[7]

In 2018, Tuan Ibrahim was elected as MP of Kubang Kerian constituency in the 14th Malaysian general election.[8]

In November 2021, Tuan Ibrahim made the local headlines when he delivered his speech in Malay during the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow. Some criticized him with the assumptions that he was not able to speak English fluently while others including politician from the opposition block coming to his defense and praised him for dignifying the national language.[9]
