Datuk Abdul Rahman Bakri (born 10 November 1965) is a Malaysian politician who represented the Sabak Bernam parliamentary seat from March 2008 until his incarceration in October 2012. Prior to that, he was the Member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Sungai Air Tawar between March 2004 and March 2008. He is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), which is a principal party within the Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.
Controversy
In November 2009, Abdul Rahman faced eight charges related to the misappropriation of state funds during his time in the Selangor State Assembly. Although he initially entered a plea of not guilty, he was found guilty in March 2012 and received a six-year prison sentence. The conviction was confirmed on appeal, effectively terminating his role as a Member of Parliament due to the corruption ruling.
