The former Menteri Besar of Negeri Sembilan, Mohamad Hasan is Malaysia's newest Minister of Foreign Affairs! He replaced the former Menteri Besar of Perak, Zambry Abdul Kadir (who subsequently replaced the former Menteri Besar of Johor, Khaled Nordin to become the new Minister of Higher Education; Khaled Nordin would also replace Mohamad Hasan to become the new Minister of Defence) during Anwar Ibrahim's cabinet reshuffle on December 12, 2023!
When I hear the name Hasan my mind goes right to that Bugs Bunny cartoon, where Bugs and Daffy make that wrong turn at Albuquerque and end up in the forty thieves treasure room which is guarded by a man named Hasan who of course Bugs outwits by pretending to be a genie. I don't remember the name of the actual episode though.
It's a unusual name but I like it. Some say it's an Islamic name (?) Does this sound less like a Muslim named Hasan than if he was named Hassan with two s?

Hasan Izz-Al-Din is a Lebanese national wanted by the United States government. Hasan Izz-Al-Din is an alleged member of Hezbollah. He is currently wanted by the United States government for his alleged involvement in the June 14, 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847. This attack resulted in the death of United States Navy diver Robert Stethem. On October 10, 2001, Izz-Al-Din, along with two other alleged participants in the hijacking, was placed on the initial list of the FBI's top 22 Most Wanted Terrorists, which was released to the public by President George W. Bush. A reward of 5 million dollars is currently being offered for information leading to his arrest and conviction. It is believed he is residing in Lebanon.
The name Hasan is also in use in Georgia, although the name isn't overly common there - and certainly not among native Georgians. In Georgia, the majority of men named Hasan are Turks who have emigrated to Georgia, and Georgians of Turkish descent.Anyway, in Georgian, Hasan is written as: ჰასან.
I really like the name but I would never name my child this because it is too similar to Haso, a fictional character in jokes in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia (I live in Croatia).
