Answer 1

Dato' Seri Abdullah bin Haji Ahmad Badawi (born November 26, 1939) is a Malaysian politician who has served as Prime Minister since 2003. He is also the President of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), the largest political party in Malaysia, and leads the governing Barisan Nasional parliamentary coalition. He is informally known as Pak Lah, 'Pak' meaning father while 'Lah' is taken from his name Abdullah.

After Prime Minister Tun Dr. Mahathir bin Mohamad. sacked Anwar Ibrahim, he appointed Abdullah as Deputy Prime Minister. Abdullah went on to succeed Mahathir as Prime Minister in 2003.

In the 2004 general election, Abdullah scored a significant victory. In the 2008 general election, the Barisan Nasional won a slim majority of seats, thus Abdullah clinged on as Prime Minister.
