The Origin
Dato’ Seri Dr. Burhanuddin bin Muhammad Nur al-Hilmi was a highly respected Malaysian nationalist and Islamic thinker who was born in Changkat Tualang, Perak.
As a student, Burhanuddin attended a number of religious schools, then took a scholarship to further his studies in homeopathy in India, becoming the first Malay doctor to graduate in the field. He became fluent in English, Dutch and Urdu.
When he returned in 1936, he worked as an Arabic teacher at Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah in Singapore for a year. He started a homeopathy clinic with partner Dr. Rajah in Singapore. People began to address him as “Pak Doctor” or “Mr Doctor”.
Dr. Burhanuddin is credited as the founder of the KRIS and PUTERA organisations. From 1956 to 1969 he was President of the Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) and a Member of Parliament for Besut in Terengganu.
