Mohd Asri bin Muda (Jawi: محمد عصري بن مودا‎; 10 October 1924 – 28 August 1992) was a Malaysian politician who served as the President of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) from 1969 to 1982,[1] and as the Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) of Kelantan.[2]

Early and personal life[]

Asri was born on 10 October 1924 in Kota Bharu, the capital of Kelantan. He was a school teacher and journalist before entering politics. He was elected to the Kelantan State Assembly and the federal House of Representatives in the 1959 election. He got married to Sakinah Junid, a fellow Malay woman politician of Mandailing ancestry (with ancestral roots in North Sumatra, Indonesia) hailing from the state of Perak on August 15, 1947 and were blessed with 9 children, 2 sons and 7 daughters, namely Noordianauli Asri, Husni Zaim, Ratna Inzah, Pearl Sabihah, Aliyah, Khalidah, Nasibah, Najah and Mohd Taqiuddin.[3]

Menteri Besar of Kelantan[]

Asri became the Menteri Besar of Kelantan in 1963, replacing Ishak Lotfi Omar.[4] He served as Menteri Besar until 1973, when he resigned to become a Minister in the federal government.[3]

PAS Presidency[]

Under Asri's leadership, PAS became a member of the governing Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition for the first and only time, from 1973 to 1978. Asri became the Minister for Land and Rural Development in the BN government.[1] Asri's leadership was also notable for the shifting of PAS's outlook towards Malay nationalism. Both joining the BN coalition and moving away from religious-based policy platforms caused the party to lose support.[5] In 1982, Asri was ousted as PAS leader by the religious ulama faction of the party, to be replaced by Yusof Rawa.[6] After Asri's tenure, PAS shifted to a more radical religious platform.[6]

After PAS[]

Following his loss of the PAS presidency, Asri founded the Muslim People's Party of Malaysia or Parti Hizbul Muslimin Malaysia (HAMIM) in 1983 but failed to achieve any electoral success.[3] He resigned from HAMIM together with other party representatives on 17 November 1988 after his attempt to dissolve HAMIM in an Extraordinary Muktamar failed.[7] In 1989, he joined PAS's rivals, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), claiming that PAS had "deviated" and had been "infiltrated by extremist foreign elements".[8][9]
