Muhammad Faiz Fadzil

Muhammad Faiz bin Dato' Haji Fadzil is a Malaysian politician. He was a member of Penang State Legislative Assembly for Permatang Pasir from 2018 to 2023. Unfortunately, he was unable to retain his seat during the 2023 Penang State Election even though the Prime Minister, Anwar Ibrahim, also the Pakatan Harapan Chairman, voted in Permatang Pasir.

In this Malay name, there is no family name. The name Fadzil is a patronymic, and the person should be referred to by the given name, Muhammad Faiz. The Arabic-derived word "bin" or "binti"/"binte", if used, means 'son of' or 'daughter of', respectively.
