In this Malay name, there is no family name. The name Abdul Ghani is a patronymic, and the person should be referred to by the given name, Mohd Zin. The Arabic-derived word "bin" or "binti"/"binte", if used, means 'son of' or 'daughter of', respectively.
Mohd Zain bin Haji Abdul Ghani (died 14 May 1997) was a Malaysian politician from Malacca state. He was the Chief Minister of Malacca from 14 October 1994 to 14 May 1997.
As Chief Minister, he also led the Malacca Customary Land Development Corporation (PERTAM).

Controversies and issuesedit
During his administration, there was talk of privatisation Malacca Water Corporation (PAM) (now Syarikat Air Melaka (SAMB)) to Gibca Holdings Sdn. Bhd. and the agreement should be signed in May 1997. However the privatisation was postponed following the death of Mohd Zin on 14 May 1997.[3]
On 11 April 1998, Mohd Zin's name was linked to a fraud case involving the former Malacca State Government Secretary, Datuk Wira Abdul Rahman Jamal regarding the Sports Complex project in Paya Rumput worth (RM260 million). Abdul Rahman claimed that he was instructed by the former Chief Minister of Malacca, Mohd Zin Abdul Ghani to write a letter of recommendation for the approval of the Ministry of Finance.[4]
