Abdul Hadi Awang

Abdul Hadi Awang's leadership of PAS for over two decades marks him as one of the most enduring figures in Malaysian politics. His ability to maintain party cohesion and expand its influence, particularly within the Perikatan Nasional coalition, speaks to his political acumen. Being named among the 500 most influential Muslims globally highlights his religious and political impact beyond Malaysia's borders. His long service as an MP and former Menteri Besar underscores his deep roots in Terengganu politics.
