“Sulaiman Abdul Rahman Taib”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

He is a former non-executive director of Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad (CMSB)^[3]^[4] and a San Franciscan graduate in Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration.^[5] Sulaiman is also the group chairman of CMSB from 2002 to 2006, and the former RHB Bank chairman from May 2003 to 2006 following the takeover of RHB by CMS's Utama Banking group. He became the youngest chairman of the local bank at that time. He worked with his brother, Dato Sri Mahmud Abu Bekir Taib (Deputy Group chairman, Non-Independent, non-executive director of CMSB), brother-in-law Datuk Syed Ahmad Alwee Alsree (Group Executive Director of CMSB) and several other board of directors of CMSB.^[6]

United States

Sulaiman was also reported to have listed as a sole officer and director of Sakti International Corporation and Wallyson's Inc. in United States. These companies were alleged to be owned by the Taib family.^[7]

Political career

Deputy Minister of Tourism

During the last 12th Malaysian General Election held in March 2008, Sulaiman stood as a candidate in the Kota Samarahan parliamentary seat previously held by his father, Pehin Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud^[4] and won under the then Malaysian ruling coalition Barisan Nasional (BN) ticket. Following his win in his parliamentary seat, he was appointed as a Deputy Minister of Tourism in the cabinet of the then Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi.^[8] Under the new cabinet line-up of Prime Minister Najib Razak, he was once appointed again as a Deputy Minister of Tourism.^[9]

On 4 December 2009, Sulaiman announced that he has resigned from his deputy ministerial post. His decision to resign from the federal cabinet was for personal reasons.^[10] However, Prime Minister Najib Razak has accepted Sulaiman's resignation as Deputy Tourism Minister effective on 14 December 2009.^[11] His position was later taken over by Datuk Dr. James Dawos Mamit.^[12]

Sulaiman's later retreat from public life was speculated to be due to AIDS.^[13] He is believed to have sought treatment for the disease in the United Kingdom.

Controversies

In 2003, a Malaysian former TV personality, Avaa Vanja Ramli, alleged that Sulaiman had kicked, punched and strangled her after she confronted him about an affair in a Kuala Lumpur nightspot.^[14] This led to a police investigation on Sulaiman. However, the case was later closed by the deputy public prosecutor due to insufficient evidence.^[15] Anisa Chan was also alleged to have been beaten up by Sulaiman, and later fled to Canada.^[16]

Hobbies and interests

Sulaiman Taib is a car fanatic. He reportedly owned Bugatti EB 110, Ferrari 355 spider, Rolls Royce Corniche, Maserati Khamsin and other luxury cars in San Francisco. He has a dedicated garage and storage facility for his cars. In 1994, before Bugatti filed for bankruptcy, he wanted to buy the ailing company for US$25 million. The deal did not work out as his father (Abdul Taib Mahmud) was against it.^[17]{{citation needed|reason=This is someone's first person account from an original citation that doesn't exist|date=September 2015}}
