Politics
In 2017, Jamilah was elected as the MLA of Tanjong Datu after she successfully defended the seat in the by-election[5] triggered by the sudden demise[6] of the incumbent MLA, who was also her husband Adenan Satem.[7]
Jamilah opted to retire after four years in politics and not run in the 2021 state election[8] in order to give the responsibility of defending her seat to her son Azizul Annuar Adenan.[9]
