Farida Sulaiman (Thai: ฟาริดา สุไลมาน; born January 26, 1964), nickname No, is a former member of the House of Representatives of Surin Province and former deputy spokesperson for the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security. She is the wife of Muk Sulaiman.

Early life

Farida was born on January 26, 1964 in Charopat Subdistrict, Sikhoraphum district, Surin Province into a Muslim family,[1] one of five families in Surin Province. Her father, Darun Prathan, is half-Pashtun and half-Khmer.[2] Both her father and mother have served as local headmen. She is married to Muk Sulaiman, a former member of the House of Representatives of Pattani Province. They have two children, Nasri and Fadil Sulaiman.[3]

Sulaiman graduated from secondary school at Surawittayakarn School, then continued her studies at the bachelor's degree level in guidance psychology from Srinakharinwirot University, Prasarnmit Campus, graduated with a master's degree in guidance from Srinakharinwirot University, and a doctorate in regional development strategy from Surin Rajabhat University.[1]

Political work

Farida Sulaiman began her political career as the mayor of Ra-Ngaeng Subdistrict, Sikhoraphum District, Surin Province. She later turned to national politics by running for election as a Member of Parliament for Surin Province and was elected three times under the Thai Rak Thai Party, the People's Power Party, and then moved to the Matubhum Party. Later, after the dissolution of Parliament on May 10, 2011, she moved to the Bhumjaithai Party[4] and ran for MP for Surin Province under the Bhumjaithai Party,[5] which is a different party from the one run by her husband, Muk Sulaiman.[6]

Farida Sulaiman was previously appointed as an advisor to the Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives and deputy spokesperson for the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security.[7]

In 2021, she moved to join the Thai Sang Thai Party, led by Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan until the Thai Sang Thai Party held a press conference to introduce Ms. Farida as the party's candidate for MP, Constituency 5, Surin Province and signed the 2023 Election.[8] but placed third in the voting.[9][10]

Thai Airway incident

IN 2008, Farida Sulaiman and two other government officials were blocked by a Thai Airways captain from boarding a flight from Bangkok to Khon Kaen in order to return to Surin Province on Thai Airways flight TG1040 Bangkok-Khon Kaen. But as she walked to the plane door, a man dressed like the captain of the plane blocked her and asked if she was a member of parliament (MP) from the People's Power Party. He said that Thai Airways did not welcome MPs from the People's Power Party.[11] The pilot was temporarily suspended.[12]
