ALTHOUGH race relations in Malaysia have frequently flared up, the Ministry of National Unity is seldom in the spotlight. Its deputy minister Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal admits that he usually does not have to handle controversies. In an interview with The Edge, Wan Fayhsal, who was appointed to the post in August 2021, says his work will begin in earnest now, since the restrictions related to the pandemic are being eased. The 34-year-old senator, who is also Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia youth chief, comes across as humble, affable and honest.
