Ismail bin Kassim (2 October 1959 – 22 May 2023) was a Malaysian politician who served as Member of the Perlis State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Tambun Tulang from May 2013 to November 2022, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Arau from March 2008 to May 2013 and the Senator from 1999 to 2005. He was a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition and the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), a component party of the formerly the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition and was also younger brother of Shahidan Kassim, the MP for Arau.

Political career

Early in his political career, Ismail joined UMNO in 1987 at the age of 28.

Candidate for the Member of Parliament (1998)

1998 Arau by-election

In the 1998 Arau by-election, Ismail made his electoral debut after being nominated by BN to contest the Arau federal seat. He lost to Hashim Jasin of the Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) by a minority of 1,323 votes. His nomination in the by-election was marred by allegations of cronyism and nepotism arising from Shahidan who was then the Menteri Besar of Perlis. At the time, BN was bleeding support due to allegations by supporters of Anwar Ibrahim who was the political opponent of then Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad as both fell out politically earlier in the year. Nominating Ismail as the candidate did little to rubbish the allegations. The defeat of Ismail also created history as BN lost a Perlis federal seat for the first time.

Senator (1999–2005)

In 1999, Ismail was appointed to the Parliament as Senator for the first term. In 2002, he was reappointed Senator for the second term.

Member of Parliament (2008–2013)

2008 general election

In the 2008 general election, Ismail was renominated by BN to contest the Arau seat. He won the seat and was elected into Parliament as the Arau MP after narrowly defeating Haron Din of PAS by a majority of only 300 votes.

Member of the Perlis State Legislative Assembly (2013–2022)

2013 Perlis state election

In the 2013 Malaysian general election, Ismail was not nominated to defend the Arau seat after exchanging seat nominations with Shahidan who was the Tambun Tulang MLA. The exchange also moved Ismail from the federal politics to the Perlis state politics and Shahidan from the Perlis state politics to the federal politics. Shahidan was renominated by BN to contest the Arau seat. Therefore, Ismail was instead nominated by BN to contest the 2013 Perlis state election for the Tambun Tulang state seat. Ismail won the seat and was elected into the Perlis State Legislative Assembly as the Tambun Tulang MLA for the first term after defeating the Azhar Ameir of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) by a majority of 2,481 votes.

2018 Perlis state election and nomination as the Menteri Besar of Perlis

In the 2018 Perlis state election, Ismail was renominated by BN to defend the Tambun Tulang seat. He defended the seat and was reelected as the Tambun Tulang MLA for the second term after defeating the Maton Din of PH and Abu Bakar Ali of Gagasan Sejahtera (GS) by a majority of 1,180 votes. He was also nominated by BN as the Menteri Besar of Perlis after his reelection as an MLA. However, Bintong MLA, Azlan Man was reappointed to the position for the second term instead of him.

On 20 June 2018, he left UMNO. Following this, he became the first ever independent Perlis MLA in the history of the state. On 7 July 2018, he applied to join the People's Justice Party (PKR), a component party of the PH coalition. However, the membership application was never approved. On 4 August 2019, Ismail joined BERSATU which was another PH component party. On 16 May 2020, he left BERSATU and rejoined UMNO.

2022 Perlis state election

In the 2022 Perlis state election, Ismail was renominated by BN to defend the Tambun Tulang seat again. He lost the seat and was not reelected as the Tambun Tulang MLA for the third term after losing to Wan Zikri Afthar Ishak of PN by a minority of 2,485 votes.

Death

On 22 May 2023, Ismail died of a heart attack at the Selayang Hospital in Selayang, Gombak, Selangor, at the age of 63.
