Background
Born in Johor Bahru, Johor on 19 December 1974, he is of Hakka Chinese (mother) and Bugis (father) descent.[3] He attended the English College (now Sultan Abu Bakar College) and Maahad Johor. He obtained his bachelor's degree in the Islamic Jurisprudence from University of Al-Bayt, Jordan and his master's degree in the same field from University of Malaya, Malaysia. He completed his doctorate in Political Science from Durham University with his doctoral thesis titled "Constructing the Architectonics and Formulating the Articulation of Islamic Governance: A Discursive Attempt in Islamic Epistemology".[4]
Before being elected, he taught at the International Islamic University Malaysia and studied Islam and the Middle East. Apart from speaking fluent Malay, Arabic and English, he also speaks moderate French, German, simple Mandarin Chinese and Hokkien.[5]
Politics
Maszlee made his political debut by registering as a member of PKR Ampang branch in 2017.[6] But he later joined another PH coalition's component party, BERSATU in March 2018 ahead of the 2018 general election (GE14) which he contested and defeated incumbent Liang Teck Meng for the Simpang Renggam constituency.[5] On 18 May 2018, Maszlee was appointed as Malaysia's new Minister of Education after Prime Minister Tun Mahathir Mohamad vacated the post just one day after taking it.[7] After some 20 months of his appointment, he rendered the ministerial position in January 2020 to the Prime Minister as requested by the latter.[8]
His BERSATU membership was then canceled in May 2020 after the collapsed of PH government following the party's decision to leave PH in the so-called 'Sheraton Move' 2020 political crisis and he became an Independent MP.[9] After being PH-friendly independent for more than a year, he finally rejoined PKR and PH again in November 2021.[2]
On 14 February 2022, he was confirmed to be contesting for the Layang-Layang state seat representing PH and PKR in the 2022 Johor state election. The state seat is within his Simpang Renggam federal seat. But, he lost to the UMNO incumbent, Abd. Mutalip Abd. Rahim.
Positions
Aside from his position as a parliamentarian member and a minister from 2018-2020, he used to hold various positions, including:
• President of Southeast Asia Minister of Education Organization Council (SEAMEO) • President of Malaysia National Commission for UNESCO (MNCU) • Head of the Council of Boy Scouts Malaysia • Chairman of Tunku Abdul Rahman Board of Trustees • Presideent of International Islamic University Malaysia
After the change of government in Malaysia, he is now in the opposition bench of Malaysian parliament. Maszlee is currently the chair for Malaysian Parliament Select Committee on Education, as well as the head of Pakatan Harapan special committee for education, and was appointed as the Deputy Chairman for Perbadanan Perpustakaan Awam Selangor (PPAS)/ Selangor Public Library since Dec 2021.
