Muhammad Jailani bin Khamis is a Malaysian politician who has served as Member of the Melaka State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Rembia since May 2018. He served as Member of the Melaka State Executive Council (EXCO) in the Barisan Nasional (BN) state administration under former Chief Minister Sulaiman Md Ali from November 2021 to March 2023 for the third term, from March 2020 to November 2021 for the second term and under former Chief Minister Adly Zahari from May 2018 to the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) state administration in March 2020 for the first term. He is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party of the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.[1] He was a member of the People's Justice Party (PKR), a component party of Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition before leaving PKR and becoming an independent supporting the BN coalition for nine months and later joining UMNO.[2][3][4] [5][6] [7][8]

Political career[edit]

In November 2019, he and Machap Jaya MLA Ginie Lim Siew Lin were absent in the state assembly and resulted in the defeat of a motion from the then ruling PH coalition to propose Melaka PKR Chairman Halim Bachik as a Senator.[9] PKR President Anwar Ibrahim had met them over the issue and later described it as unacceptable.[10] During the 2020 Malaysian political crisis in March 2020, Jailani played an instrumental role for the collapse of the democratically elected PH state administration led by Adly as he was among the MLAs who left PH. He left PKR and resulted Adly in his loss of majority support in the assembly. Adly was then forced to resign as Chief Minister and the administration collapsed. He switched allegiance to BN as an independent. BN later returned to power together with Perikatan Nasional (PN) as a coalition government. Sulaiman of BN was then appointed as new Chief Minister to replace Adly. He was later reappointed as an EXCO member for the same portfolios. In 2021, he rejoined UMNO.[2] In the 2021 Melaka state election, he was nominated by the party as the BN candidate to defend the Rembia seat and he was reelected as the Rembia MLA and reappointed again as an EXCO member for the same portfolios.[11][12] On 29 March 2023, Sulaiman was confirmed to have resigned as Chief Minister. Jailani labelled the incoming Chief Minister Ab Rauf Yusoh as a "backdoor" leader. The phrase was prominent during the political crisis and was often used to describe a government or politician that hold office without being democratically elected and given the electoral mandate by the people. Fellow EXCO member and Merlimau MLA Muhamad Akmal Saleh hit back at Jailani and explained that no MLAs were involved in toppling Sulaiman and pressuring him to resign as well as reminding him of his instrumental role in the collapse of the PH state administration in March 2023. On 31 March 2023, Tanjung Bidara MLA Ab Rauf was appointed as the Chief Minister to replace Sulaiman. He alleged that Ab Rauf had pressured and toppled Sulaiman and declared that he was not supporting Ab Rauf and his government although they both were Barisan Nasional MLAs. On 5 April 2023, Ab Rauf appointed his EXCO lineup and Jailani was dropped from the lineup as widely expected.
