From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Datuk Seri Dr Md Isa Sabu is the sixth Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) of the Malaysian state of Perlis. He is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and holds the state assembly seat of Bintong, in the Perlis capital of Kangar.

Md Isa was sworn in as MB of Perlis on 17 March 2008 following the 2008 Malaysian election. The Raja of Perlis appointed Md Isa despite Perlis UMNO leader Shahidan Kassim having a letter of appointment from Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Md Isa claimed the support of eight of his fellow UMNO assemblyman, satisfying the Raja that he could command the support of a majority of the 15-member Perlis state assembly. [1]

Md Isa is married with seven children [2]. He was member of the federal parliament for Kangar from 1995 to 1999.
