Zainudin Nordin (Jawi: زاينودين نوردين; born 3 July 1963) is a former Singaporean politician. A member of the governing People's Action Party, he was a Member of Parliament representing the Bishan-Toa Payoh Group Representation Constituency (GRC).[1]

Zainudin has represented Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC from 2001 to 2015. He is the former Mayor of the Central Community Development Council from 2006 to 2011, and is currently the president of the Football Association of Singapore.[2] After his retirement, he had went to ITE College East as a deputy principal for development.

Notably, Zainuddin never served National Service in Singapore like most able-bodied males of his generation, as revealed by himself in a parliamentary speech during the Budget 2013 Committee of Supply.

Zainudin's father was a security guard.[3] Nordin was exempt from National Service, as the National Service policy excludes some Malays.[4]

Awards

  • Chevalier in the National Order of Merit by the French Ambassador to Singapore[5]

Arrest on 25 April 2017

On 25 April 2017, Zainudin was arrested alongside three other individuals in connection to a probe by the Commercial Affairs Department into a suspected misuse of funds at Tiong Bahru FC.[6][7] Zainudin is currently released on bail.[6][7]
