A capable and confident Malay in Penang

 

.. Mohammad Fairus, a consultant, said he is fighting for all Penangites and will do his best, “not just for one race but more importantly, to be consistent in building a new Malaysia and new hope for Malaysians to live harmoniously while strengthening the economy and defending Malaysians’ rights, especially in Penang”.

…

At 32, Fairus will perhaps be the youngest member of the executive council.
Born in Guar Perahu, Kubang Semang, and the grandson of Guar Perahu penghulu Abdullah Din, Fairus has two MBAs, one in strategic and defence studies and another in strategic management from the United Kingdom. He also has a degree in political science – international relations from the Universiti Islam Antarabangsa and a Syariah Studies certificate from Universiti Malaya. He is also fluent in Arabic.

Fairus started his career with Hong Leong Assurance, Franklin Covey Malaysia, Ford Motor Company Malaysia and Uni Asia Life Assurance Bhd before becoming a freelance consultant for human resources and corporate development.

A qualified sports science instructor, Fairus is also a silat trainer and served as the president of the Seni Silat Pusaka Gayong Malaysia (Federal Territory) and represented the country on numerous occasions.
