TEMERLOH: Social media personality-turned-actor Wak Doyok, 39, is now an official member of Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah).
His membership was announced by Amanah vice-president Datuk Mahfuz Omar during the party’s third anniversary held here.
Wak Doyok, whose real name is Mohd Azwan Mohd Nor, said he was attracted to join “the orange party” for its openness in fighting for the concept of Islam for all.
“I became interested in joining Amanah after the party managed to attract many professionals, be it Malay or non-Malay.
“I wanted to be part of the change, especially in an Islamic struggle that provides for all,” he said when met today.
In July, Wak Doyok announced that he had joined Amanah and submitted his membership form at the party’s new branch in Section 13, Shah Alam.
Wak Doyok said he wanted to empower youth in economy, and shape them into something they are proud of.
“I am the icon of the Malaysian Youth Economic Action Council and I believe that I will be able to help in empowering youth in the economy with my participation in the party.
“I will also help the party educate the people in terms of lifestyle,” said the Abang Long Fadil 2 star.
