Ismail Kassim is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on October 2, 1959 in Tambun Tulang, Malaysia.
Early in his political career, Ismail had joined United Malays National Organization (UMNO) of Barisan Nasional (BN) at the age of 28 and had served as the head of UMNO’s youth wing in Perlis. He contested the federal seat of Arau by-election, 1998 but was defeated by Hashim Jasin of Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS). His candidacy in 1998 was marred by accusations of cronyism arising from his brother’s position as Menteri Besar of Perlis. At the time, UMNO was bleeding support due to allegations by supporters of UMNO leadership contender Anwar Ibrahim of cronyism and nepotism within the party. Selecting the brother of the state’s Chief Minister as UMNO’s candidate did little to neutralise the allegations. Ismail’s defeat was the first time that UMNO had lost a parliamentary seat in Perlis to PAS.
Ismail was later appointed to the Dewan Negara (Senate), before re-contesting and winning Arau ten years later, in the 2008 general election, defeating opponent from PAS by a 300-vote margin. His predecessor, Syed Razlan Syed Putra, had held the seat with a majority of 3,243.
