How much due-diligence attention each area needs — not a finding of wrongdoing.
Records show a former two-term Penang state assemblyman (1986-1990) but provide no post-1995 office-holder data.
The public record supplied for Chin Kooi Thoon is limited to four official Penang state election results spanning 1982-1995, with two consecutive wins for N17 Jawi in 1986 and 1990 and losses in 1982 and 1995. No other reporting on integrity, litigation, corporate exposure, asset declarations or media matters is on file, so all non-electoral dimensions are marked 'open' and the overall level is 'insufficient'. Enhanced due diligence is not triggered by anything in the records, but the next-steps list sets out concrete official-source checks to close the gaps before any rating beyond 'insufficient' can be assigned.
