Sri Rafidah
binti Aziz (born
4 November 1943) is a Malaysian politician who was Member
of Parliament for
the Kuala
Kangsar constituency
from 1986 to 2013. Born in Kuala Kangsar, Perak,
Rafidah was Minister of International Trade and Industry from 1987 to
2008. As minister, she was the chairman of MATRADE beginning
in 1991.
She
was also the head of United
Malays National Organisation's
Woman Wing (Wanita
UMNO in Malay)
but lost in 2009 UMNO General Assembly election to Shahrizat
Abdul Jalil after
seeking re-election for another term.
In
2006, she was accused of corruption related to the issuance of
Approved Permits (AP) for importing foreign vehicles by former Prime
Minister Mahathir
bin Mohamad in
his series of criticisms against the Government
of Malaysia.
Mahathir had also criticised then Prime Minister Abdullah
Ahmad Badawi's
handling of the Approved Permits (AP) issue, expressing his surprise
that Rafidah Aziz was still retained as a Cabinet member
although two people on the list of persons issued with highest number
of APs were linked to Rafidah.[1]
In
March 2008, following the general
election held
in that month, she was dropped from cabinet, despite winning her
parliamentary seat when other ministers had lost theirs. After thirty
two years in government service, and twenty years as a minister, she
described herself as being "blessed and content."[2] When
asked if she was saddened, she said that she wished Prime
Minister Abdullah
Ahmad Badawi had
told her earlier on not to contest the election.[3]
Ms.
Rafidah Aziz serves as the Non-Executive Independent Chairman of
AirAsia X. Tan Sri. Aziz has been an Independent Non-Executive
Chairman and Independent Non-Executive Director at AirAsia X Berhad
since March 3, 2011. She has been the Chairman of Supermax
Corporation Berhad since June 16, 2015. She is Malaysia's
longest-serving Minister of International Trade and Industry, having
served in that capacity from 1987 to 2008, and contributes a wealth
of international experience. She is also actively involved in
politics. She is a Member of the Malaysian Parliament. Previously,
she has also held the portfolio of Minister of Public Enterprises
from 1980 to 1987 and Deputy Minister of Finance from 1977 to 1980.
In 1976, she was appointed as Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry
of Public Enterprises. She also has experience lecturing at the
faculty of Economics and Administration at the University of Malaya.
She was appointed as Senator in 1974 and resigned to contest in the
General Elections in 1978. She served as Member of Parliament in the

Constituency (from 1982 to 2013). She served in the UMNO Supreme
Council for 38 years since winning a seat in the council in 1975. She
