His father, Gulasan bin Mushall Khan who is of mixed Pakistani-Dusun descent is a native of the said village in the said district since the predominant ethnicity or tribe are mostly native Dusuns, initially worked as a personal driver who was hired by several Sabah state government departments and agencies using a Land Rover car along the Tenom-Keningau highway that was last posted to the Public Works Department (JKR) in Tenom prior to retirement. His mother, Ruhujah binti Musturullah Khan who is of mixed Pakistani-Murut ancestry from Tenom was a full-time housewife.[6][7][2]

He then continued his studies at the University of Malaya in the field of Geography in 1993. After that, he continued his studies at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) until he graduated with a master’s degree in environmental management in 1995 and then continued his studies at the PhD level in the field of Urban Geography in 2009.[6]
