Biography

Muhammad Amir Fiqri Mustapha, 30, is a Malaysian United Democratic Alliance (MUDA) politician from Muar, Johor. He serves as Information Chief of MUDA Muar Division [2] and has worked as a special officer to Muar Member of Parliament Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman [4]. Malaysiakini reported that Amir Fiqri is among the key figures behind the services and assistance programmes of the Muar MP's office [5]. In June 2026, MUDA president Amira Aisya Abdul Aziz announced him as the party's candidate for the Maharani state seat (N15) in the 16th Johor State Election, with polling day set for 11 July 2026 [2]. Free Malaysia Today described all four MUDA candidates named at the time — including Amir Fiqri — as first-timers who are active in community and constituency work [6]. He is also commonly referred to by the nickname 'Amir Jack' in English-language media [4]. Amir Fiqri has spoken publicly on governance and anti-corruption issues, criticising Pakatan Harapan for what he characterised as normalising corruption through its cooperation with Barisan Nasional [3]. The Maharani constituency had 40,040 registered voters ahead of the 2026 election and was held by PN-PAS following the 2022 polls with a majority of 1,037 [7]. His candidacy is part of MUDA's effort to expand beyond its single Johor seat held since 2022 [8].

Known for

Muhammad Amir Fiqri is known as a grassroots MUDA operative in the Muar area, serving as Information Chief of MUDA Muar Division and as a key member of the Muar MP's constituency service operation [1]. He is a vocal advocate on anti-corruption and institutional reform, publicly calling out Pakatan Harapan's governance record [3]. His 2026 Johor state election candidacy for Maharani marks his first bid for elected office [6].

Political positions

Amir Fiqri has publicly aligned himself with MUDA's reform-oriented platform. In a September 2023 statement, Sinar Daily reported him criticising Pakatan Harapan for what he described as openly normalising corruption through its partnership with Barisan Nasional, and questioning whether PH's promises of institutional reform prior to the 15th General Election had been fulfilled. He argued that the government's prior two-thirds majority meant there was no excuse to delay legislative or institutional changes. For the 2026 Johor election, MUDA's announced policy platform — the 'Kontrak Muda Johor 2026' — centres on three priority areas: cost of living and job opportunities, state-level governance reforms, and climate change and environmental challenges [6]. These positions reflect MUDA's broader positioning as a youth-driven, multi-racial, pro-democracy party that champions progressive values and reform [8].
