MAIPs honours Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra's 25 years of leadership
In a statement issued today, the Perlis Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) highlighted His Royal Highness' notable achievements, including his humanitarian missions, educational collaborations, and efforts to promote religious diplomacy.
"His work has had a lasting impact, particularly in strengthening the zakat and waqf management systems and enhancing the role of mosques as community hubs.
"Under His Royal Highness' leadership, MAIPs has emerged as a progressive and authoritative religious institution. His leadership is a symbol of a monarchy that is close to the people and visionary in developing Perlis," read the statement.
Most recently, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra led MAIPs' humanitarian missions to Kenya and Rwanda, forging strategic collaborations with international Islamic education institutions.
One of his significant projects includes introducing UniSIRAJ (Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin International Islamic University) and promoting the harmonious and humanitarian values of Islam.
MAIPs also celebrated Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra's milestone during the Takrim 25 Tahun Pemasyhuran (25th Anniversary of His Royal Highness' Ascension as Perlis Raja Muda) which coincided with the 2026-2030 consultative dialogue on the direction of state's Islamic affairs here on Friday.
The anniversary celebration symbolised the highest appreciation for His Royal Highness' leadership over the past two and a half decades.
His dedication to guiding the ummah, upholding religion, and serving the people of Perlis was honoured through a special ceremony, which included a trilingual poetry performance titled Ungkap Kata Puji Mahkota – حملة المدحِ.
In his speech during the dialogue, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening the direction of Islamic affairs in Perlis for the 2026–2030 period.
His focus will remain on ensuring Perlis remains a harmonious, knowledgeable, and prosperous state through an integrated and impactful approach.
"This Takrim ceremony not only reflects on His Royal Highness' 25-year leadership journey, but also serves as a renewed pledge to continue the struggle for blessings, justice, and the well-being of the ummah," said MAIPs, adding that prayers for His Royal Highness's continued leadership and divine blessings were made.
Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra was officially installed as Raja Muda of Perlis on Oct 12, 2000, at the Balairong Seri, Istana Arau, following the proclamation of his father, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail, as Raja of Perlis on April 16 of the same year.
Since then, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra has carried the responsibility of being the heir to the Perlis throne and the president of MAIPs, advising the Raja of Perlis on Islamic affairs and Malay customs.

Should DAP unmask its multi-racial make-up and stay true as a perfect ethnic Chinese party?
HAS DAP misled Malays and Indians to join the party under the pretext that it is a multi-racial party when the party's core support and leadership structure have been predominantly Chinese? Such is the criticism levelled at DAP by opposition-slant political activist Jess (@jezlai) who claimed that despite having consistently promoted a multi-racial agenda and sought to represent the interests of all Malaysians, 'DAP remains a 100% Chinese party'. 'Why more and more Indians & Malays leaving DAP?' the presumably Gerakan influencer asked in a post on X while insinuating discrimination along racial lines on non-Chinese members. 'DAP IS A 100% CHINESE PARTY. DAP NOT A MULTI-RACIAL PARTY' WHY MORE &MORE INDIANS & MALAYS LEAVING DAP? DAP ONLY USE MALAY & INDIAN MEMBERS & LEADERS GET VOTES & POLITICAL SUPPORT. Note – if u meet MALAY & INDIAN DAP MPs & ADUNs specially MP Bentong & MP Bangi, show this video — Jess (@jezlai) July 30, 2025 'DAP only use Malay and Indian members or leaders to gain votes and political support.' Of interest is the revelation by ex-DAP Youth member Venosha Balachandran who claimed that the wing's WhatsApp group 'always speak in Chinese', hence prompting her to leave the group. 'And then one of the ADUN messaged me asking why I left the group to which I replied that you didn't include me in any conversation for everything is in Chinese. 'So what do you expect me to do? Go and translate all the conversations and reply to you? The majority audience to the food … everything is Chinese … they may add one or two sentences in Malay or Tamil … They say vanakam and the Indians are all ready to vote for them … I eventually left the party.' Optics of Malay, Indian faces Interestingly, there were some interactions between Jess and commenters to her post in which one remarked that 'DAP has mastered the art of optics with Malay faces on banners and Indian names in (party) line-ups.' 'But behind closed doors, the same people still pull the strings. You don't build unity by borrowing colors. You build it by sharing the brush.' Concurring with the observation, the influencer even took a swipe at Bentong MP Young and DAP's central executive committee (CEC) member Young Syefura Othman whom she described as 'unintelligent and got condemned by her own race for being a willing stooge to a full-blown Chinese political party'. Jess further refuted the notion that 'DAP leaders are the best performing ministers currently'. 'The reality today shows DAP ministers aren't performing better but similar to BN (Barisan Nasional) ministers … today's Chinese community views DAP as MCA 2.0,' This is when an advocate for the voiceless drew a comparison between DAP and MCA whereby the latter 'never claimed to be multiracial, hence their Chinese focus is expected'. 'But when DAP claims to be multi-racial yet most of their events and communications cater primarily to the Chinese community, it raises questions … You can't claim to be for all races, then act otherwise. It's called hypocrisy.' At the end of the day, Jess dubbed DAP as 'Democratic Acting Popular'. 'DAP deemed members of the PN (Perikatan Nasional) coalition, namely PAS and Bersatu, as racist parties when DAP within their own party practices racism,' she expounded. 'Hello DAP, how long do you want to cheat Malaysians? Malays, Chinese and Indians who left DAP all have one common comment which is DAP is 100% Chinese party'. – Aug 4, 2025
