Jeanne Abdullah
Jeanne Abdullah (née Danker; born 29 July 1953) is a Malaysian hotelier who served as the spouse of the prime minister of Malaysia from 2007 to 2009, as the wife of Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. She married Abdullah in 2007 while he was in office and is the second wife after the death of Abdullah's first wife, Endon Mahmood.
Jeanne was formerly married to the younger brother of Abdullah's first late wife. She was also a manager at the Seri Perdana residential complex and has two children from her previous marriage. However, earlier in March that year, the premier dismissed rumours about his plans to remarry even though the rumours had been circulating for more than a year.
Born Jeanne Danker on 29 July 1953 in Kuala Lumpur to a Roman Catholic Portuguese-Eurasian (Kristang) family with roots in the state of Malacca, she was the eldest of four siblings. She is an alumna of SMK Assunta in Petaling Jaya, Selangor.[citation needed]
Jeanne later converted to Islam at the age of 23, when she married her first husband, Othman Mahmood, who was the younger brother of Abdullah's deceased first wife, Endon Mahmood.
Jeanne worked in the hotel management field at major hotels including Kuala Lumpur Hilton and the Pan Pacific Hotel. At one point, she was supervisor of the Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister's official residence while Abdullah Badawi was Deputy Prime Minister, and became the manager of Seri Perdana, the Prime Minister's residence, when Abdullah assumed the premiership.
Jeanne has two daughters, Nadiah Kimie, 48 and Nadene Kimie, 46 from her previous marriage. Nadiah runs a visual communications company in Kuala Lumpur. Nadene is involved in the fashion industry, dealing with fashion-related and lifestyle projects.
On 9 June 2007, Jeanne Abdullah married Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in a private ceremony held at the official residence, Seri Perdana, in Putrajaya. The marriage was solemnised by Haji Abd Manaf Mat, an imam from the Putra Mosque, and witnessed by Abdullah's son, Kamaluddin, and son-in-law, Khairy Jamaluddin. The event was attended by close family members, including Abdullah’s children and grandchildren, Jeanne’s two daughters, and several relatives of Abdullah’s late wife, Tun Endon Mahmood.
Following the ceremony, the couple visited Endon’s grave at the Taman Selatan Muslim Cemetery in Putrajaya.
