Sulaiman studied in Bartley Secondary School and Victoria School in Singapore. He started training in the Malayan Air Training Corps (MATC) and in the UK from 1955 at the RAF College, Cranwell, graduating in 1958 as a Pilot Officer in the RAF, the Malaysian Air Force not having been created at that time. In the 1960s he was a Flight Lieutenant on an RAF Squadron in Cyprus flying the Canberra light bomber when the Royal Malaysian Air Force was formed. In September 1965 he joined the Royal Malaysian Air Force as a Squadron Leader, and shortly afterwards took command of the RMAF base at Alor Star as Group Captain.
On 1 November 1967, he was promoted to Air Commodore and became the first Chief of the Royal Malaysian Air Force.
