Dato’ Seri Abdullah bin Haji
Ahmad Badawi became the 5th Prime Minister of Malaysia on 31st October
2003.
Born on 26 November 1939
in Kampung Perlis, Bayan Lepas, Pulau Pinang, Dato’ Seri Abdullah received
his early education at Sekolah Kebangsaan Pematang Bertam. He later attended
Bukit Mertajam High School, Penang Methodist Boys’ School and a religious
school started by his family. Dato’ Seri Abdullah pursued his tertiary
education at the University of Malaya where he graduated with B.A.(Hons)
in Islamic studies in 1964.
Upon graduating, Dato’ Seri
Abdullah joined the civil service, where he started his career as Assistant
Secretary in the Public Services Department in 1964. In 1969, Dato’ Seri
Abdullah moved to the National Operation Council (NOC) or Majlis Gerakan
Negara (MAGERAN), a body responsible to exercise the ruling powers for
the country after the May 1969 racial riots. Dato’ Seri Abdullah was later
promoted to the Ministry of Culture, Youth & Sports as Director General
(1971-1973) and Deputy Secretary General in 1974.
Dato’ Seri Abdullah resigned
from Government service in 1978 to pursue a political career. A loyal UMNO
member since 1965, he was elected UMNO Supreme Council Member in 1981,
and UMNO Vice President in 1984 and UMNO Deputy President in 1999.
Dato’ Seri Abdullah won his
first election for the Parliamentary seat of the Kepala Batas constituency
in 1978, (a seat he has retained since). In the same year, Dato’ Seri Abdullah
was appointed to his first post in the administration of the Government
of Malaysia, as the Parliamentary Secretary to the Federal Territory Ministry.
He was then promoted to Deputy
Minister in the same Ministry in 1980. Dato’ Seri Abdullah later held the
post of Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department from 1981 to 1984;
and Minister of Education from 1984 to 1986; Minister of Defence from 1986
to 1987; and Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1991 to January 1999. In
January 1999, Dato’ Seri Abdullah was appointed as the Deputy Prime Minister
and Minister of Home Affairs.
Dato’ Seri Abdullah is married
to Datin Seri Endon Bt. Dato’ Mahmood since 1965. The couple is blessed
with two children, a son, Kamaluddin (married to Azrene) and a daughter,
Nori (married to Khairy Jamaluddin). |
