He is a member of parliament of Kuala Nerus, Terengganu who has been contesting on PAS tickets since 2013. In 2013, he defeated the incumbent Mohd Nasir Ibrahim Fikri with slim majority by 610 votes.

He retained the seat in 2018 after defeating a well-known Motivator Tengku Asmadi Tengku Mohamad from Barisan Nasional and Abdullah Mohamed from Pakatan Harapan with a wider majority by 8,447 votes.

Participation in Government

State Government

Immediately following the end of the Malaysian General Elections 2018, the State of Terengganu is ruled by the PAS. He has been appointed by Terengganu State Government to be the chairman of the board of 4 state-owned companies beginning 2018, namely the Terengganu Strategic & Integrity Institute (TSIS), Darul Iman Training Center (DITC), Paya Bunga Hotel, and Duyong Marina & Resort.

He has been appointed Minister of Plantation Industries and Commodities Malaysia in the new cabinet by Prime Minister, Muhyiddin Yassin.[4]

International involvement

He has been active in several international organizations including being a board member and Assistant Secretary of the International Conference of Islamic members of parliament (IIFP) from 2018 to the present. He is also the Treasurer of the Youth Wing, International Conference on Asian Political Parties (ICAPP) from 2019 to the present.

Controversy

He is renown for his fellow Member of Parliament's claim that he brought in RM82 billion worth of investments for Malaysia while on a semi-personal trip to Turkey, and subsequently violated legally-mandated COVID quarantine procedures when he returned to Malaysia.[5] In 2019, Malaysia's FDI was recorded at RM32 billion (US$8 billion).[6] For that achievement, he was compared to the hudhud bird mentioned in the Quran.[7] The Prophet Mohamad prohibited the killing of hud-hud bird due to its sagacity.[8] Upon investigation, he was fined RM1,000 (US$250) for violating quarantine,[9] despite commoners being fined up to RM8,000 (US$2,000) and a day's jail.[10] Popular speculations on his hudhud-like political survivability point to the fact that the sitting Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin has a narrow, 2-seat majority in Parliament[11] and any fines above RM2,000 (US$500) would have disqualified Dato' Dr. Mohd Khairuddin of his position in the Parliament,[12] thus further weakening the Prime Minister's majority and achieving the intention of Muhyiddin Yassin of not wanting to be the Prime Minister in the first place.[13]
