Ustaz Muhammad Fawwaz bin Mohamad Jan is a Malaysian politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Permatang Pauh since November 2022. He is a member and the Penang State Information Chief of the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), a component party of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition. His victory in the 2022 general election was a significant upset, as he defeated the incumbent MP, Nurul Izzah Anwar, the daughter of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim ending the family's 40-year hold on the parliamentary seat.[1] As MP for Permatang Pauh, he has been controversial, attempting to ban the sale of alcohol to non-Muslims at Sunway Carnival Mall and making seditious remarks on social media.[2][3] Additionally, he sparked outrage in Parliament by claiming that low-income students have ‘big appetite’ and are resorting to sugar dating.[4]
