Candidate · N38 Paloh (1990)
Current
No current role in the records collected so far.
Overall due diligence
Low
Enhanced due diligence required
The records cover only 1982–1990 Kelantan state election results and no current office, allegations, or adverse matters; enhanced due diligence is still required because virtually all non-electoral checks remain open.
Electoral resilience

Won N36 Manek Urai in 1982 and N38 Paloh in 1986 (majority 3660 votes), then lost N38 Paloh in 1990 with 2737 votes.
Political continuity
Stable
All three recorded candidacies were under UMNO/BN with no party or coalition switch.
Integrity signal
Open
No allegations, charges or cases appear in the provided records, but no integrity-specific checks (MACC, court, regulatory) are in scope.
Financial / corporate
Open
No SSM, asset, credit, financial-disclosure or beneficial-ownership records are in the file.
How much due-diligence attention each area needs — not a finding of wrongdoing.
Historical Kelantan state assemblyman (1982–1986/90); no current office or post-1990 political activity documented.
Only election outcomes on file; no organisational, factional, or patronage links recorded.
Records cover three Kelantan state election results for Ariffin bin Said between 1982 and 1990, all under UMNO/BN. He won Manek Urai (1982) and Paloh (1986, by a 3660-vote majority), then lost Paloh in 1990 — the same cycle in which PAS took control of Kelantan. No current office, allegations, charges, convictions or other adverse matters appear in the provided records, and no corporate, litigation, financial or media records are included. Most due-diligence dimensions therefore remain open, and verification through SSM, court registries, MACC, SPR and Hansard is required before any further judgement can be formed.
