Rahim Thamby Chik

Tan Sri Abdul Rahim Thamby Chik (born 10 April 1950 in Pengkalan Balak, Masjid Tanah, Malacca) is the Chairman of the Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (RISDA), and is a former vice-president of the United Malays National Organisation. He was aligned with Dr. Mahathir during the 1987 UMNO General Assembly. He was the chief minister of Malacca from 1982 to 1994.[1]

In 1994 Rahim was charged with statutory rape of a minor; however, the public prosecutor later withdrew the charge citing lack of evidence.[2]
