He is a member, Deputy President and State Chairman of Perak, Pahang and Negeri Sembilan of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), a component party of the PN and formerly Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalitions. He has also served as the 2nd State Chairman of PN of Negeri Sembilan since May 2023.[4] He was also the State Chairman of PH of Perak.[5] He was one of the only two state leaders of Malaysia who has led state administrations of two different and opposing political coalitions alongside Mukhriz Mahathir.
He was removed from office of the Menteri Besar of Perak after losing the motion of the 2020 vote of no confidence in the Perak State Legislative Assembly on 4 December, and he served in caretaker capacity for another day despite his intention to only resign once the appointment of a new officeholder and formation of a new state administration take place.[6][7]
Background and education
Ahmad Faizal was born in Ipoh, Perak. He received his primary education at Cator Avenue School, Ipoh and had his secondary education at Anderson School, Ipoh.
Political career
He began his political career as a Special Officer to Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai between 2011 and 2013 before becoming Senior Special Officer to Kedah Mentri Besar Mukhriz Mahathir between 2013 and 2016. He is also formerly served in the Special Affairs Department (JASA).[8]
He was the former United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) Ipoh Barat Youth chief (2016–2017) before he became Perak BERSATU chairman. He was subsequently named Perak Pakatan Harapan chairman in August 2017. He was appointed as Special Advisor to the Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin on 5 August 2021, who is in charge of advising Muhyiddin on matters related to community networking, community communications and socioeconomic development.

Controversies
Ahmad Faizal was reported to have pursued a Business Studies degree from Edith Cowan University in Perth, Australia.[10] He however denied the reports and claimed that while he did pursue the course he had to put his studies on hold due to personal reasons. Ahmad Faizal holds a Masters Degree in Political Science from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia.[11]
Ahmad Faizal has been very critical of the Orang Asli indigenous tribes ever since he took office as Menteri Besar. On 23 November 2018, Ahmad Faizal made a statement that the Orang Asli should improve themselves before asking for aid.[12] On 29 July 2019 Ahmad Faizal claimed that there is no definition or recognition of ancestral or customary land (tanah adat) for Orang Asli under the state constitution.[13] It was refuted by fellow PH's MP, Ramkarpal Singh and the Malaysian Bar.[14][15] During his administration, many Orang Asli residents were arrested for protesting over the state government's decision to acquire their land for logging activities.[16]
As special adviser to Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, he faced brickbats from netizens for his apathy in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, when he posted a food review in his office.[17] Some questioned his appointment as special adviser in a time when the backdoor government was struggling with bloated spending.
On 13 June 2022, he made a statement on Twitter about Malaysian football supporters due to the Malaysian football team losing against Bahrain in Bukit Jalil National Stadium, causing a backlash from supporters. He later apologized.[18]
