Why this matters to you
As the MLA for Hulu Bernam, Mui'zzuddeen sits in the Selangor State Legislative Assembly as part of the PN opposition bloc — meaning his votes on state budgets, land matters, and local development allocations for Hulu Bernam are cast from the opposition benches, since PH-BN holds the state government majority (Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Selangor_state_election). Residents of Hulu Bernam — a constituency bordering Tanjung Malim, Perak, that has historically lacked a hospital, bus terminal, and banking facilities — interact with Mui'zzuddeen as their primary point of contact for state-level service delivery and constituency allocations (Source: thestar.com.my/news/community/2010/04/23/hulu-bernam-folk-want-development). His slim 669-vote majority means Hulu Bernam remains closely contested, and local issues such as infrastructure and development are likely to feature prominently in his service of the constituency (Source: sinardaily.my).

- OppositionPKR's Hulu Selangor coordinator Sathia Prakash Nadarajan stated ahead of the 2023 polls that PH-BN cooperation in Hulu Bernam was sufficient, and that the 'green wave' was not strong in Hulu Selangor — a prediction the final result, won by PN, did not bear out.⛓
- GovernmentThe Selangor state government (PH-led), not Mui'zzuddeen's PN bloc, holds the state executive majority. The Selangor Mentri Besar has announced state-government-led development projects in Hulu Bernam, such as a proposed centralised solar park, independent of the opposition MLA's office.⛓
