| Introduction | Not much to know about me. I was born in a poor family in a remote kampung in the District of Kota Belud, Sabah in 1955. I still go back to that kampung almost every week end. I have a kampung upbringing and mentality tempered with a good education in England. I know the feeling of being poor and being well off. I also know the feeling of being in the minority living with the majority as I was born in an Iranun community which is about 25 thousand out of 27 million of Malaysian. Certainly I know how it feels to be in the majority as I am a member of UMNO the biggest political party in Malaysia. I can eat any type of food so long as it is halal. I can live in any remote setting and in any busiest city in the world. I have led a political party (BN component) as a president and upon disolving that party on my on accord I joined UMNO as an ordinary member. I have been in the opposition side of politics and I have been in the government both state and federal levels. I have been a backbencher, minister as well as a Speaker of a State Assembly. I was already a State Assemblyman at the age of 27. Now I am the Speaker of Malaysian Parliament. In short, I have been around for sometime. |
