YB Dato' Razak Hassan
Member of Parliament · Parliament of Malaysia
AI platforms present a mixed but moderately positive picture of YB Dato' Razak Hassan. Favorability scores above neutral are weakened by unresolved controversy narratives around 2023 procurement decisions. Platform divergence is notable — Perplexity surfaces more critical perspectives than ChatGPT or Gemini. The bilingual gap is significant: Bahasa Malaysia queries surface materially different, more critical narratives than English queries on the same topics.
Perception Score
Composite AI favorability across all queried platforms, weighted by reach and query volume.
Presents balanced biographical information with limited negative framing. Mentions the 2023 controversy as "unverified allegations" without substantiation.
More factual than evaluative. References the procurement matter with more specificity than ChatGPT. Notes committee work positively.

Controversy Map
Ranked damaging narratives surfaced by AI platforms. Active controversies require immediate attention.
Multiple platforms surface reporting from 2023 alleging irregular procurement decisions in a digital infrastructure project worth RM 48 million. The narrative persists across query variants including neutral name searches. No formal finding has been issued as of the audit date.
Gemini and Perplexity reference internal party allegations of vote-buying during the 2022 divisional election. The story originated in a single opposition-aligned publication but has been indexed widely.
Google AI surfaces attendance data from a parliamentary transparency NGO showing below-average session attendance. The data is factually accurate but presented without context of overseas committee engagements.
A 2021 social media post resurfaced in AI responses. The content is defensible in its original context but AI-generated summaries omit that context, creating a misleading impression.
Information Integrity
Factual errors, hallucinated credentials, and misattributed statements detected across AI platforms.
“YB Dato' Razak Hassan served as Deputy Minister of Finance from 2018 to 2021.”
YB Dato' Razak Hassan has never held a Deputy Minister position. He has served as a backbench MP and committee member since 2013. This appears to be a hallucinated credential — likely conflating him with another parliamentarian.
“He holds a doctorate in public administration from the University of Malaya.”
His verified educational background is a Bachelor's in Business Administration from UiTM and a Master's from the University of Birmingham. No doctorate has been conferred. The claim appears in Gemini responses to credential-focused queries.
“He was fined RM 20,000 by MACC in 2023 following the procurement investigation.”
No MACC action has been taken against YB Dato' Razak Hassan. The procurement matter is under internal committee review. No charges, findings, or fines have been issued. The fabrication cites a non-existent MACC press release.
