Zamil bin Ibrahim (Jawi: زاميل بن إبراهيم), or better known as Zamil BPH, is a politician and businessman who is the former President of the Parti Keadilan Insan Tanah Air (KITA). He once served as a special officer to Najib Razak. He is also a strong supporter of the former prime minister, Najib Razak.
Political career
2013 state election
In the 2013 Malaysian general election, Zamil has expressed his intention to contest in the seat of Sidam as an independent candidate. He has added that "he is confident that he can compete as a 'third force' in the political system in this country, especially to give the people the best choice to determine their own leader."
Despite this, Zamil was defeated in a six-cornered match in the election. Pakatan Rakyat (PR)–Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) candidate, Robert Ling Kui Ee managed to get 13,189 votes with a majority of 5,964 votes, beating the other candidates, namely Bee Sieong Heng with 7,225 votes, Zamil Ibrahim with 347 votes, Ooi Beng Kooi with 268 votes and Uh Chorng Von with 42 votes.
Controversies and issues
Arrested by MACC on charges of extortion
In November 2024, Zamil was arrested by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) on charges of blackmailing and asking for a bribe of RM20,000 from a mudir who managed a maahad tahfiz in Kedah. He was arrested at Masjid Bidong, Gurun, Kedah when he wanted to take money amounting to RM20,000 from the mudir maahad tahfiz in question and was taken by the MACC to the Alor Setar court for the remand process.
On the previous day, Zamil made a police report on the tahfiz maahad which was allegedly defrauded and requested a sum of money from the concerned party to enable him to withdraw the police report. However, Zamil was arrested yesterday when he wanted to take an advance of RM20,000 from the head of the tahfiz center involved.
After being released from MACC, Zamil denied the charges and filed a police report to clear his name.
