He is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) in Malaysia's previous governing Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.

Education

[edit]

Othman Abdul was a former student from the National University of Malaysia. He studied science, majoring in sociology. After graduating in 1978, he worked as an officer in the Family Planning Board and the Kedah State Development Corporation. From 1980 to 1983, he was the Assistant District Officer of Pendang.

Political career

[edit]

Othman was elected to Parliament in the 1986 election, for the seat of Pendang, Kedah, defeating Phahrolrazi Zawawi of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) by 900 votes. He held the seat for three terms, before losing it at the 1999 election to PAS's leader Fadzil Noor.[2][3] At the time of the 1999 election Othman was serving as a parliamentary secretary to Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.[4]

When Fadzil Noor died in 2002, Othman stood as the Barisan Nasional candidate in the high-profile and closely fought by-election that followed.[5] He won his seat back, defeating PAS's Mohd Hayati Othman by 283 votes.[6][7] However, he was replaced as the Barisan Nasional candidate for the 2004 general election, and the coalition lost the seat to PAS.[5]

Othman returned as the Barisan Nasional candidate for Pendang at the 2013 election. PAS had held the seat since 2004, but had decided to replace its incumbent member with the party's high-profile deputy president, Mohamad Sabu. Amid a swing to the Barisan Nasional across the state of Kedah, Othman won the seat by 2,638 votes, returning to Parliament for his third non-consecutive period in office.[2][8]

Othman failed to retain the Pendang seat in a 4-corners fight in the 2018 election losing to the PAS candidate.

Othman was also the KIMB (Koperasi Islah Malaysia Berhad) Chairman for four consecutive years. He also acted as the institution Audit Committee for KIMB up to June 2008. He is now replaced with Dr Haji Ahmad Zainuddin Bin Abdullah.[9]
