Profession
Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man on Parliament of Malaysia

Tuan Ibrahim bin Tuan Man[1] (Jawi: توان إبراهيم بن توان من; born 27 August 1960) is a Malaysian politician, lecturer and teacher who has served as the State Leader of the Opposition of Pahang since December 2022,[2] Member of Parliament (MP) for Kubang Kerian since May 2018 and Member of the Pahang State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Cheka since November 2022. He served as the Minister of Environment and Water for the second term in the Barisan Nasional (BN) administration under former Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob from August 2021 to the collapse of the BN administration in November 2022 and the first term in the Perikatan Nasional (PN) administration under former Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin from March 2020 to the collapse of the PN administration in August 2021 as well as the MLA for Jengka from November 1999 to March 2004. He is the first person who serves as an MP and an MLA of two different states. He is a member of the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), a component party of PN coalition. He has also served as the Deputy President of PAS since June 2015.

Early life

Tuan Ibrahim was born on 27 August 1960 in Kampung Batu Balai, Jerantut, Pahang to ethnic Kelantanese Malay parents. He then furthered his undergraduate studies at the National University of Malaysia and received a Bachelor of Arts (Honors) Degree in Leadership. He later went on to study his postgraduate studies at the same university and graduated in 1995. His undergraduate thesis is entitled Travel Implications for Muslims - A Study in Tioman Island. He emphasized the three benefits of his research, in terms of land, in terms of benefit to the people and in terms of Islamic morality. He has served as a teacher at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Clifford in Kuala Lipis and served as a senior lecturer for 14 years at the University of Technology MARA (UiTM) in Jengka, Pahang and Manjung, Perak.[3]

Political career

Tuan Ibrahim is an alim (Islamic religious scholar).[4] He contested and won the Pahang State Legislative Assembly seat of Jengka in the 1999 election.[5] However, in the 2004 election, he was unseated amid a nationwide swing to the Barisan Nasional coalition.[6] He tried to reclaim the seat in the 2008 and 2013 elections, but lost on each occasion to a Barisan Nasional candidate.[7][8] In 2013 he became a vice-president of PAS, defeating Mahfuz Omar in an election at the party's annual general assembly.[4] He has been the head of the party in the state of Pahang since 2004.[9]

In 2018, Tuan Ibrahim was elected as MP of Kubang Kerian constituency in the 14th Malaysian general election.[10]

Controversies

In April 2021, the media report titled Malaysia is not impacted by climate change, says the minister, in which Tuan Ibrahim is the Minister of Environment and Water, has caused anger online.[11] Tuan Ibrahim said that the headline is misleading and clarified Malaysia is not invited to the Leaders Summit on Climate in the United States because it is not classified as a country that is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.[12]

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.[13]

Tuan Ibrahim also supports polygamy, calling for men who marry more than one woman to be given moral support as the solution for late marriages.[14]
