Early life
editTuan 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
editTuan 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
editIn 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]
