from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Datuk Mohamad Muda Asri (various forms of name, including Sri Datuk Haji Mohd Asri bin Haji Muda - Datuk , Sri and Haji are honorary degrees; * October 10, 1923 in Kota Bharu , Kelantan , Malaysia ; † August 28, 1992 in Kuala Lumpur ) was a Malaysian politician and long-time chairman of the Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS).

Life

Datuk Asri did not get beyond a Malay elementary school education, but then worked alternately as a school teacher and journalist for Malay media. After the end of the Second World War in the Pacific, he became involved in radical political groups in Malaysia , stimulated by Islamic modernization and the success of the national revolution in Indonesia . He joined the Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (Islam Party for All Malaysia) in 1953 and quickly climbed the corporate ladder. In 1959 he was able to form the state government in Kelantan after the general elections. Datuk Asri was continuously elected to state and federal parliaments between 1959 and 1974. In 1964 he became chairman of the PAS and at the same time chief minister of Kelantan. When the PAS joined the Barisan Nasional (National Front) in January 1973 , Datuk Asri gave up his post in Kelantan and became Federal Minister for States and Special Tasks.

The political connection between the PAS and the National Front was short-lived, and in 1978 the United Malays National Organization (UMNO) won a majority of the votes in Kelantan. In 1982 Datuk Asri was forced to resign by young MPs who were disappointed with the results of his political work.

After his resignation Datuk Asri founded the Parti Hiskul Muslim Malaysia (Hamim) party, but he could not achieve political success with it. He united the party with the Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah (Muslim Unity Front), which also included the PAS, to participate in the 1990 elections; although the front won Kelantan, Datuk Asri could not record any personal success.

Datuk Asri died in Pusat Perubatan Tawakal Hospital in Kuala Lumpur.
