Abdul Kadir bin Sheikh Fadzir (Jawi: عبدالقادر بن شيخ فاضل; born 4 June 1939) is a Malaysian politician and former seven-term Member of Parliament (MP) of Malaysia representing Kulim-Bandar Baharu constituency in the state of Kedah.
Abdul Kadir became a teacher at Serdang English School (1958), at Sekolah Kebangsaan Baling (1958–1960), a clerk at the Public Works Department, Alor Star (1960–1963).
[3][4] As the Amanah is just an NGO, there are some demands for it to change to become a political party and join the opposition in the coming general election.
According to Dr Raja Ahmad Al-Hiss, the deputy head of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) Youth Council vice-chairman, Abdul Kadir's action also gives a clear picture that there is something wrong with UMNO's struggle.
PAS vice-president, Mahfuz Omar said Abdul Kadir's action was to redeem the honor of the BN-led state.
Mahfuz believes that Abdul Kadir's actions are a blow to Najib who recently said that the people should not try to impose the future of the country to support the opposition.
[12] IKATAN and Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) later formed an informal Third Force political alliances on 16 March 2016,[13] which was called Gagasan Sejahtera (GS) on 13 August 2016.
Aziz Sheikh Fadzir is the former Kuala Ketil seat assemblyman and then former MP for Kulim–Bandar Baharu succeeding Abdul Kadir.
His brothers, Datuk Haidar Ali Sheikh Fadzir became Federal Territory UMNO Youth chief but died of a bacterial infection in the liver and lungs while Datuk Musa Sheikh Fadzir became the leader of Bukit Mertajam UMNO and was appointed Senator.
