         Next, I will share about Sudirman's family.. He is the youngest in the family. His eldest brother is Zainuddin, followed by Rodziah, Rohaini, Basir and Ruslan. Rodziah (Datin), a University Malaya (in Singapore then) graduate in the 1960s, worked with Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka, and is married to Datuk Zainuddin Dato’ Awang Ngah, a distinguished career civil servant (now retired) who was the Administrator of the Labuan Federal Territory during its early years.

Dr. Ruslan is a medical doctor, formerly with the government hospitals, but now running his own private medical clinic. And Basir, his nickname actually, was one of the general managers of Felda (Federal Land Development Authority) until his recent retirement.
