He is the 4th child of the 5 legendary Sidek brothers who represented Malaysia in the sport of badminton internationally.

He managed to win a number of international title such as the Canadian Open and German Open with partner Ong Ewe Chye.[5] Rahman Sidek was a member in the winning team at the Thomas Cup 1992.[6] He retired because his partner quit the sport.
After he retired, he was appointed as Malaysian national doubles coach. Then, he and his brothers established a badminton club to find new talented players, called Nusa Mahsuri.[7] He has been coaching in Nusa Mahsuri, the first professional badminton club in Malaysia from 1996 until now.
