An Inspiration To Many
Adibah is from Kuala Lumpur and is a teacher who teaches English.
She is also a graduate of Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia.
In 1994, Adibah participated in a singing competition for the first time in the Nescafe 90s Voice competition. Her fortune changed when she managed to win the competition.
She made her start in the entertainment industry in 1995 and had gone on to star in films such as Sepet and Gubra.
In 2005, the song ‘Terlalu Istimewa’ was included in her first album on the market. The song was Adibah’s emotional expression about the story of a little girl who was the victim of a heinous crime.
More sadly, the killer escaped the gallows, and two other suspects were released for not having enough evidence.
The song is still being played on radio stations in the country until now.
Adibah Noor has released an album containing eight songs, including collaborations with other great singers such as Misha Omar, Anuar Zain, Amir Jahari, Nassier Wahab, Dina Nadzir and Sam Innuendo.

Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil said the attitude of the late singer Adibah Noor is something the new generation of artists should learn.
Fahmi said he and Adibah are friends, apart from being involved in the Sahabat Center group to make the stage show successful.
Adibah used to perform with Sahabat Center, of which I am also a member of the group. Every time I participate in the program, we always greet each other and we have many contacts in the program.
Lembah Pantai MP Fahmi Fadzil on Adibah being a very loving, likable and easy person to make friends with.
A sad day for Malaysians. She painted the entertainment industry with colours we’ve never seen before & never failed to bring smiles to everyone who knows her. I can’t believe this. You will be so dearly missed @adibahnoor
