Abdullah Badawi kini pengerusi IKIM

Dah saya tulis bulan April lagi, dan diulang pada Mei, bekas-PM Abdullah Badawi akan dilantik menjadi ketua IKIM.

Dah jadi kenyataan empat bulan kemudian - lihat di bawah.

Cuma belum lagi nama badan itu ditukar jadi IKIA. Bukan saya nak persendakan atau mengutuk beliau seperti yang disangka orang yang komen di bawah posting itu.

Abdullah Appointed IKIM Chairman

PUTRAJAYA, Aug 28 (Bernama) -- Former prime minister Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi has been appointed chairman of the Malaysian Institute of Islamic Understanding (Ikim) effective Sept 1.

Abdullah, who holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Islamic Studies from Universiti Malaya, will replace Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid who has decided to step down.

Abdullah's appointment would boost IKIM's effort to enhance true understanding of Islam among Muslims and non-Muslims, the Prime Minister's office said in a statement e-mailed to Bernama on Friday.
