This website was launched on my 70th birthday, i.e. 18th April 2012.
I have decided to create this website in order to make all my speeches, lectures, papers, and articles and my important judgments available to members of the public who might be interested to read them and, hopefully, find them useful. This is my gift to mankind.
All my speeches, lectures, papers and articles to date have been uploaded. Most of my important judgments have so far been uploaded too.
Personally, this is one of the greatest satisfactions I have ever had. I remember distinctly that when I was lying on my back (that was the only position I was able to) on the hospital bed for about six months, beginning in October 2010, unable to eat, drink, move, speak or write, I thought that my days of giving speeches and lectures and presenting papers at conferences, seminars and workshops were over. I felt sad but if that was what Allah s.a.w. had pre-ordained for me, I was ready to accept it.
However, with the grace of Allah s.w.t., not only did I recover but I also regained my voice, enabling me to speak again publicly even though with only one side of my vocal cord functioning. It was even more meaningful because the first speech I delivered with my “second voice” was the speech at my daughter, Melati’s wedding reception on 2nd October 2011 followed, two weeks later by the reception speech at the UNITEN Convocation where I was conferred the Hon. Doctorate in Business Administration. What is important is that with the new voice I was able to add new speeches, lectures, papers and articles to the website.
Without naming them, I thank all those who have assisted me to create this website.

Salam and best regards to all.

FIRST YEAR
Today, 18th April 2013, on my 71st birthday, this website is exactly one year old. At 8.00 am it has received 43,805 visits (average 120 per day). I thank everyone for visiting my website. I hope they have benefited from it.
During the period I had added 24 papers in spite of the fact that I was again hospitalised for two months and without voice (for the second time) for about five months. Indeed the most number of papers uploaded during any period of two months is the period of two months I was in hospital, surviving on milk being fed through the nose and not knowing whether I would ever be able to eat and drink normally again (or speak again, for the second time). Of the six papers uploaded during that period, three were read on my behalf by someone at the respective conference or seminar while I was at the hospital. The other three were read by someone in my presence at the conference or seminar which, by then, I was already able to attend but was still unable to deliver or present the papers myself as I still had not recovered my voice.
Alhamdulliah, on 14th January 2013, I was again able to present a paper titled “Fifty Years of Independence: Revisiting the Federal Constitution – Legal Changes and Impact’’ at the Transformation of Security and Fundamental Rights Legislation Conference organised by the Attorney Generals Chambers. That was the first paper I presented with my "third voice" still with only one side of my vocal cord functioning.
What can I say except Alhamdulillah and thank you all?
Tun Abdul Hamid Mohamad
THE SECOND YEAR
Today, 18 April 2014, the second year of this website, my 72nd birthday and I am in Cempaka Room, Ward 28, Kuala Lumpur Hospital for the past one month. However, I managed to make some calculations. The number of visitors has increase by 60,285 from 43,888 one year ago to 104,173 (137%). That makes me happy even though I am in hospital.
Once again I thank all those who have assisted me to set up this website as well as those who have supported it.
Thank you

THE THIRD YEAR
Alhamdulillah, throughout the third year I was not hospitalised even though during the last quarter, I was already unable to stand and walk unassisted. However, the third year saw a marked increase in the number of speeches, papers and articles I delivered or wrote. They totalled 35 altogether. In terms of number of visitors, it was 103,448 giving an average of 283 a day, an increase of 71% from the previous year.
18 04 2015
THE FOURTH YEAR
The fourth year roughly comprised of the second half of 2015 and the first half of 2016. During that period, my health was going down again. My legs were becoming more and more numb culmination to my inability to stand even with the support of the walking frame. I have to be helped by two persons to make me sit on the wheelchair and then pushed me to my computer table. Even then, I could only sit for about an hour at a time as the numbness and the pain would become unbearable that I have to be helped back to the bed.
Under the circumstances, I only accepted a few very important invitations to speak around Putrajaya. Even then, for the last three invitations I had to be carried on a stretcher in an ambulance to the place and then transferred to the wheelchair when my time to speak arrived. Hence, I joked, “I have undergone six surgeries but all were below the neck. So, what is above the neck is still original.”
However, I still wrote when I had something to say. It was also during that that period when my two books were published. They are “I Will Never Beg” and “The Truth Shall Prevail”. Most important of all, it was during that period that I received the National Level Ma’al Hijrah Award (1437) making me the first former Chief Justice and Judge of the Civil Court to receive the award. Perhaps, even more important was the fact that my speech was televised live to the whole country. I delivered the speech sitting on a wheelchair. I consider that as a God-arranged “last sermon” for me. Indeed I felt that my life was complete after the speech.
In terms of number, the total number of visitors was 80,234 giving an average of 219 a day, down by 23% from the previous year. I am still very happy with it.
I have three more books under edition. I hope to be able to see them.
18 04 2016
THE FIFTH YEAR
Throughout the whole of the 5th Year, I was lying on my back unable even to turn to the right or to the left or to move my leg even for an inch. Unless I am asleep, once in an hour or so, I would call my wife of my maid either to turn me or to lift and bend my legs. However, while lying on my back, I would use my mine Ipad to type the draft of whatever coves to my mind. Then, I email it to myself.
Two or three times a day, my wife and our maid would help me to stand up using the walking frame for support while they pressed my knees to prevent me from collapsing. I would turn bit by bit and sit on the wheelchair. Then, I am pushed to my computer table where I would continue the work and email to me again for continuation when I am lying on my back again.
Even then, I did deliver a few speeches. I travelled in an ambulance lying on a stretcher, transferred to the wheel chair and pushed to the hall just before my turn to speak. People say, without the wheel chair, no one would think I am ill.
Altogether, I wrote 37 speeches and articles during the year.
During this year too, three of my books were published, namely The Truth Shall Prevail, Saya Tidak Akan Melutut and Konflik dan Pengharmonian.
The number of visitors has also increased from an average of 204 a day in the fourth year to 275 a day, an increase of 34 per cent.
I thank Faizura Haneem for her continued assistance to maintain this website and all visitors who have made this website a success beyond my imagination.
18 04 2017
THE SIXTH YEAR
It is unbelievable that this is the eight year after my multiple surgeries. I remember praying to Allah, without much hope really, that He gives me five or six more years to see my grandchildren. Since then, he has given me eight years and four granddaughters. Alhamdulillah.
It is also unbelievable that I have been lying on my back for three and a half years. But, time seems to fly though I am in pain all the time, the difference being more or less, acute. But, one thing has improved my condition i.e. the hospital bed which I bought during this period. It enables me to turn and lie on my sides, instead of lying on my back all the time.
During the sixth year I wrote 30 pieces, mostly articles. I only attended conferences to deliver keynote addresses three times, that too in an ambulance. However, the impact seems to get stronger. This can be seen from the increase in the number of visitors which is the highest compared to the previous years. The average per day during the year had reached 321. That is in spite of the fact that my other website is also catching up. For example, in the month of April 2018 it has touched 110 per day.
The other developments are, quite often the shorter articles became viral through WhatsApp. Reporters seem to check this website to see whether there is anything new for them to publish or write a report about. Most of the time, the whole article is published in their publication.
I also received emails from readers, all very polite and almost all agreeing. I also receive requests for visitation which I have to be very selective because on my condition.
To visitors, than you for your support. You are free to share the articles with you friends. That is my amal jariah, Insya Allah.
