Muar Bandar Warisan: Sempat mengunjungi Laluan Budaya Maharani hasil inisiatif @muar.historia. Semoga usaha ini berterusan dan saya akan mendukung semua usaha untuk menjadikan Muar Bandar Warisan.

His Instagram account has crossed a million followers, and it's only because of his young mind - sheer dedication, political plans, breaking the glass ceiling by being the youngest minister and also his efforts in lowering the voting age to 18 in Malaysia.

His thoughts on lowering the voting age to 18 are:

He thinks by doing so Malaysian millennials cannot be sidelined in the Malaysian political scene anymore, this also means the youth voter block becomes bigger and stronger. Which will help youngster's to choose a better government and a voice which can be heard.

In an interview, he shared his early personal life and his struggle to not speaking fluent English. He also told that he was a racist, read what he said:

If you met me five years ago, I'm like a totally different person. I could speak English but my English wasn't good. I never got As for my English papers and English papers in Malaysia are not difficult. My knowledge was shit. I thought Africa was a country, Egypt was a continent. I still remember pronouncing recipe as "reh-sip."

I am not proud of my past. I was a racist. I was an Islamic radical because I would actually say if you do not pray, you would go to hell and burn in hell. Like I'll only mingle with Muslims. People always say oh no, this person is racist or a radical and cannot be changed. No, no, no, I was exactly that and I have changed.

My 6th book on PAS Politics in less than 2 months. . I disagree with their brand of politics, however i’ll always have great respect to Allahyarham TG Nik Aziz. Only Allah knows how he brought PAS and other opposition parties together to finally win over the popular vote from BN. PAS today is very different than PAS under TG Nik Aziz. . May allah bless his soul always.
