Datuk Abdul Rahman Bakri (born 10 November 1965) was the Member of the Parliament of Malaysia for the Sabak Bernam constituency in Selangor from 2008 to 2013, sitting as a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) party in the governing Barisan Nasional (BN) coalition.[1] His parliamentary career ended with his conviction and imprisonment on corruption charges.

Abdul Rahman was elected to Parliament in the 2008 election for the UMNO-held seat of Sabak Bernam.[2] He was previously a member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly, representing the seat of Sungai Air Tawar for one term from 2004 to 2008.[3]

Controversy

In November 2009, Abdul Rahman was charged with eight counts of misappropriating public funds while a member of the Selangor State Assembly. He pleaded not guilty to the charges,[4] but in March 2012 was convicted and sentenced to six years imprisonment.[5] His conviction was upheld on appeal.[6]
