 BIOGRAPHY

OF

TUN ABDUL HAMID BIN HAJI MOHAMAD

BACKGROUND AND PRIMARY SCHOOL 

Tun Abdul Hamid was born on April 18, 1942, at Permatang Tinggi Bakar Bata, Kepala Batas, Penang. The village is surrounded by paddy fields. All its inhabitants are farmers.

His father studied at a pondok (traditional Islamic religious school) in Kedah, at the pondok of Tok Kenali in Kelantan and at the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. His brothers too studied at a pondok or Arabic School after completing Malay school. They worked as farmers. His sister did not go to school because, at that time, girls in the area did not go to school.

An important event in his life was, one morning, when he was about seven years old, about a week before the school reopened at the beginning of the year, he told his father he wanted to go to school. His father agreed. 

When the day came, wearing his elder brother's shirt and barefooted, he followed the older boys and walked across three villages and a paddy field to Paya Keladi  Malay  School. Sometimes he was late and his friends had already left. To catch up, he took a shortcut through deserted rubber small holdings and rice fields with broken ridges and submerged during wet season. He had to pass the house of a Javanese contract labourer who kept dogs and was said to keep ghosts, which was eerie and scary. Crying, he would run pass the house to get to school before the bell rang.  No matter how heavy the rain was in the morning he would never miss school, using banana leave as umbrella which did not prevent his clothes getting drenched.

In standard one and two, the students wrote on stone slates and erased them with wild orchids plucked from areca nut and other trees, using long bamboo pole with an Indian-type sickle  tied at the top end.

School money was 10 cents a day. 5 cents could buy noodles, nasi lemak, kueh, sotong katok, a glass of ice water or an ice ball.

When in Standard 3, while making a top (gasing), Tun Abdul Hamid accidently severed his right forefinger. His father took him on a bicycle to the clinic at Kepala Batas. The dresser tried to sew the severed part back, without anesthesia. For several months he went back to the clinic, enduring pain until finally the severed part dried up and the attempt failed.

He did not go to school for two weeks. When he went back to school, he learned to write with his left hand and took his examination writing and drawing with his left hand for two years.

 Later, unknown to his father, his class teacher, Cikgu Muhammad Bin Awang, registered him for English school. The Special Malay One class was supposed to be at St. Mark's School in Butterworth. However, on the first day at school, the class was moved to St. Mark's Branch School in Prai, To go to school, every day, he had to cycle for three kilometers, take a bus for 17 kilometers, walk one-and-a-half kilometers, cross the Prai river with a rowing boat (sampan) and walk another half a kilometer. He would get up at 5.30 am and arrive back home between 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm everyday.

Why the class was moved to Prai is understandable. The school was a missionary school. They could not Christianize Malay students. They had to have the class because it was directed by the Government. So it was not a choice class.

SECONDARY SCHOOL AND UNIVERSITY

He entered Form One at St. Mark’s School, Butterworth. It was easier to go to school. He only had to cycle to the bus station and take the bus. He would reach home by about 3.30 pm to 4.00 pm.

In 1960, when he was in Form Three, the government held the National Language Week. Although he had never delivered a public speech before, he registered himself, wrote his own speech and, on that day, went on stage wearing his brother's long pants and delivered his speech. He became the champion at the district, state and the northern region comprising Penang, Perak, Kedah and Perlis and finished third at the national level.

When he was in form five, he became the first Malay student to be made the head prefect in the school. In the same year he became the national champion of the national language month speech contest in the Malay male students’ section.

The champion for the non-Malay female students’ section was a Baba Nyonya girl from Melaka named Choong Giok Hee, now Toh Puan Hamidah Choong Abdulah, his wife and mother of their four children.

Tun Abdul Hamid obtained Grade One in the Senior Cambridge Examination and the Malaysian Certificate of Education. Only three Malay students obtained such results in Penang and Province Wellesley that year.

He went to Form Six at St. Xavier's Institution, Penang. In his class, there were only three Malay/Muslim students. Most of the teachers were "brother teachers" who came from England, Germany, Canada and other countries. At first, he had trouble understanding their dialects. He lamented how he would compete with those students who lived in George Town and were sent to school in cars when he himself had to wake up as early 5.00 am, take a bath at a well or irrigation canal, rode a motor bike to Butterworth, took a ferry and then to school. (Subsequently, with a few friends, he rented a room at an elderly Chinese man’s house in a gangster-infested area, a fact not known to him then. However, they did not disturb him or his friends).

However, in the first week, his class was required to write an essay. In the following week the brother teacher, a German, entered the class with the essay papers he had examined and called his name. He stood up. Then the brother teacher began to read his essay to the class. His classmates who came mostly from George Town and, among them, had scored "straight As" in the Senior Cambridge Examination (which was very rare those days) were surprised. He was very excited. Even though he had won essay writing competitions several times and his essays had been read in other classes, but those essays were in Malay. This is in English! That gave him confidence to strive on.

That school was a Roman Catholic missionary school. Every morning the non-Roman Catholic students were placed in a "moral instruction" class. One day the brother teacher who taught that class gave a lecture on Islam. In his lecture, he said that the fifth pillar of Islam was holy war (jihad). Tun Hamid stood up and objected. At the end of the class, the brother teacher said that for the next two days he handed the class to Tun Hamid.

He prepared himself and took over the class for two days, 45 minutes a day. He emphasized the oneness of God and that a person is not a Muslim unless he believes in all the prophets from Adam to Muhammad, including Jesus, son of Mary. On the second day, he read the English translation of the Quran on the issue. At the end of the second day, a Chinese girl in the class said him "Hamid, I want to be a Muslim". That was his first presentation!

About a week later, Brother Principal (Head Master) came to the corridor of Tun  Hamid’s class and signaled him to go out. The principal said to him, "You have a bright future. I would like you to concentrate on your studies. From now on, you do not have to attend the moral instruction class. You can go to the library and study." 

“Shall I tell the other Malay students that they are excused too?” he asked the Bother Principal.

“No, this is only for you,” the Brother Principal replied.

He was very happy until 15 years later. He was then the Deputy Registrar, High Court at Kuala Lumpur. When he went out of his room, he saw the Brother Principal queuing at the corridor for the services of the Commissioner for Oaths. Tun Hamid introduced himself and invited the Brother Principal to his room. He called for the Commissioner for Oaths to attend to the Brother Principal’s needs. It was when he left the room that Tun Hamid began to wonder what was the real reason why he was excused from attending the moral instruction class fifteen years earlier: was it because the Brother Principal cared so much about his future or because of his lecture to his class on Islam?

After passing the Higher School Certificate, he applied and was accepted into the Faculty of Law at the University of Singapore. There, he learned that at the end of the first year only about 1/3 (33%) of the first-year students would pass and go up to the second year. Again, he lamented how he would compete with 180 other students from Singapore and Malaysia, including the son of a Chief Justice, Judge and  those who came from families of lawyers when he had not even met a lawyer in his life.

However, again it was an English test in which the students were asked to write an essay on a given topic that gave him some confidence. He was one of the 54 out 180 (30%) students to pass the test. He was so determined to pull through as he had no other choice, so much so that he did not even go back home during the two term holidays. He arrived home only to find that his father was in the hospital because of a road accident. His family did not inform him for fear of disturbing his mind. At the end of the first year, 56 (31%) students passed and moved to the second year. He was one of them one of the 38 (15%) students to graduate within four years.

JUDICIAL AND LEGAL OFFICER

In May 1969, he joined the Judicial and Legal Service. About a week later, he was trapped in the May 13 incident at Court Kampung Baharu, Kuala Lumpur where he was visiting a friend. Two soldiers from the Malay Regiment climbed the double- storey hotel where he was staying temporarily to retrieve his belonging. He took the first flight from Kuala Lumpur to Penang and stayed at home until the end of the month. On 1^st June he reported for duty at Magistrate’s Court, Kangar, Perlis only to be told he had to sit in Jitra, Kedah, 35 kilometers away. Luckily, his eldest brother had followed him and drove him to Jitra.

Approaching the court house, he saw a big crowd waiting for the Magistrate. He had no idea what he had to do. Luckily, a very senior Tamil interpreter was there to help him. He advised Tun Hamid to postpone cases fixed for hearing, leaving only cases fixed for mention to be disposed of. When the mention cases were called, he stood close to Tun Hamid and whispered what he should do and say. That was his first day as a Magistrate, those days.

He served in the Judicial and Legal Service for 21 years. During that period, he served as a Magistrate, President of the Sessions Court, Assistant Director of the Legal Aid Bureau, Deputy Registrar of the High Court for seven years, working directly under Tun Suffian and Sultan Azlan  and closely with Tan Sri Harun Hashim.  

He learned a few things from Tun Suffian:

1. No matter how well you write, if people cannot understand you, it does not serve any purpose.

2. If you have a choice between a simple and a bombastic word, choose a simple word. 

3. If you have a choice between a short sentence and a long sentence, choose a short sentence.

4. If you have any doubt, delete.

Every morning when the Chief Justice (Malaya), Raja Azlan Shah (as he was then) Chiefarrived, he would call Hamid (as he was then) and instructed him what to do, all of which must be completed by 12.00 noon. One day, he told Tun Hamid to write a speech for him and he wanted it by 12.00 noon. Tun Hamid pleaded with him to give him until 4.00 pm as he had 26 applications in chambers to be heard that morning. Thie Chief Justice told him “If you have no time, make time.”

Tun Hamid went back to his room, heard all the applications, wrote the speech and went back to the Chief Justice’s chamber to give him the speech. He took it and started to read. He smiled (something very rare) and a small laughter broke (something even rarer).

When he had finished, he placed it on the table and smiled.  Tun Hamid knew it was time to leave.

That episode was the beginning of a long and regular assignment, to draft speeches for him so much so that when Tun Hamid was transferred to Kelantan, he had to send a speech via Mara express bus.

One year after he was transferred to Kelantan, the Chief Justice, who had ascended to the throne of Perak, tried to get Tun Hamid transferred to Perak as the State Legal Advisor. It was resisted by the Attorney General, Tan Sri Abu Talib on the ground that the post was Superscale D while Tun Hamid was on Superscale E and he wanted to send a more senior officer there on promotion. At last, a deal was struck: Tun Hamid would go to Perak on Superscale E.

In Perak he became the unofficial speech writer for the Sultan so much so that, on one occasion, when he visited the district, he wanted Tun Hamid to go as well. Knowing the reason, Tun Hamid took his type writer with him.

The bosses in Kuala Lumpur heard about it and did not like it. To them he was following the Sultan everywhere, neglecting his work. So, just before he completed one year of service in Perak, one night, the Sultan called him to the palace. “Your boss came see me. He wants to take you back to K.L.,” he said.

Immediately, Tun Hamid responded, “Please let me go, Tuanku. I don’t want anybody to say I am hiding under your umbrella.”

“Who is going my speeches?” he retorted.

“That is not a problem, Tuanku. If I could write from Kelantan, why not from K.L.?” He replied.

In Kuala Lumpur, Tun Hamid was made the Senior Federal Counsel at the Inland Revenue Department. For about three months he did not menghadap the Sultan. He was busy at his new office. Besides he had no reason to menghadap. But the Sultan looked at it differently.

One day at about 12.00 noon, the Sultan rang him up, as usual, personally. The moment Tun Hamid picked up the phone, the Sultan let loose his anger, “Dah besar. Tak ada jemputan Diraja tak datang. (Pauce) Come for lunch.”

Tun Hamid quickly drove to Istana Perak in Kuala Lumpur. As he was approaching the palace on foot, he could see the Sultan and Raja Permaisuri sitting at the dining table. On seeing Tun Hamid approaching, the Sultan turned his chair and sat with his back facing the approaching Tun Hamid. Seeing that the Sultan had turned his back towards him, Tun Hamid stopped walking and stood still outside the palace. Seeing that, the Raja Permaisuri signalled to him to enter the palace and invited him to sit down. He angkat sembah and sat down. The Sultan turned his chair to the original position, looked at him and angrily repeated, “Dah besar. Tak ada jemputan Diraja tak datang.”

Tun Hamid angkat sembah, “Ampun Tuanku.  I don’t want to hang around the istana. I don’t want people to say that I am asking for favour. All these years I had not asked a single favour from you. I want to keep it that way. If you want me to do anything, just let me know. I will come anytime, Tuanku.”

He seemed to be lost for words for a while. Then, he said, sternly, ”Where is your wife?”

“She is working, Tuanku,” he replied.Again, sternly, he said, “Bring her for dinner.”

“Tuanku,” he replied. He signalled to Tun Hamid to have lunch.

So, for making the Sultan angry with him, he earned a private lunch and dinner with the Sultan and Raja Permaisuri!

Later, the Sultan’s sister-in-law told Tun Hamid’s wife Raja Permaisuri said to her, “Tun Hamid is very sincere.”

Tun Hamid went on to become Head of the Prosecution Division before being appointed Judicial Commissioner.

In 1990, Tun Abdul Hamid was appointed Judicial Commissioner and was stationed in Penang. In 1992 he was appointed a High Court Judge. In 2002 he was appointed Judge of the Court of Appeal. In 2003, he was appointed a Judge of the Federal Court. On 5 September 2007 he was appointed President of the Court of Appeal. On December 11 he was appointed Chief Justice of Malaysia. He retired on 18 October 2008.

FAMOUS CASES

In 2004, as a Federal Court Judge, he chaired the Federal Court hearing the first sodomy case involving Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim, the former Deputy Prime Minister. On the first day, his lawyer suggested that Tun Abdul Hamid withdraw from hearing the case on the ground that he was likely to be biased. When he turned down the request, Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim got up and in a loud voice lambasted him, the court and the Judiciary as unjust.

However, on the day of the judgment, when Tun Abdul Hamid finished reading his judgment which acquitted and discharged him, Dato’ Seri Anwar Ibrahim stood up and said, "My Lord, Thank you. May God bless you. That is all I want to say. " 

During his tenure as Chief Justice, he also chaired the Special Court which tried a civil claim against the former Yang Di Pertuan Agong (King) and reigning ruler of a state. Tun Abdul Hamid wrote the unanimous judgment of the court which required him to pay US $1 million to the plaintiff bank. The former King complied with the order. The case shows that the principle of rule of law is highly respected in Malaysia.

Throughout his career, Tun Abdul Hamid had written 567 judgments on various branches of law, most of which have been published in the law journals and also on his websites.

KEYNOTE ADDRESSES, WORKING PAPERS, LECTURES AND ARTICLES

As early as 1993, he was invited to become a commentator of Professor Tan Sri Ahmad Ibrahim and Dato’ Dr. Abdul Monir Yaakob’s paper on Common Law at the Malaysian Legal and Judicial Seminar in Langkawi. The invitation marked the beginning of his involvement in seminars and conferences on the relationship between civil law and syariah which continued until after his retirement.

In 2002, he wrote a paper suggesting that syariah issues arising in the civil courts and before the arbitrators be referred to the Bank Negara Syariah Advisory Council for a ruling to avoid syariah issues from being decided by civil court judges and arbitrators who are neither qualified nor experts in syariah, including non-Muslim  judges. Besides, it would ensure consistency of the rulings on the same issues in order to promote the development of Islamic banking.

The proposal was accepted by the Government and is now legislated as sections 51 to 58 of the Central Bank of Malaysia Act 2009 (Act 701). It is praised by international writers including Yahia Abdul Rahman in his book "The Art of Islamic Banking and Finance".

Tuan Abdul Hamid was frequently invited to deliver keynote addresses, lectures and present papers, especially on the jurisdiction of civil and syariah courts, civil and syariah, Islamic banking and finance, the implementation of hudud in Brunei and Malaysia, at local and international conferences, including at Harvard University.

Health problems caused him to be inactive for a year from October 2010 to September 2011. Even though he did not recover fully and always in pain, he continued to deliver keynote addresses and lectures and present papers at conferences and write numerous articles.  He also wrote a major part of two of his books and edited all his five books during that period. Since 2015, he is unable to stand up anymore. However, he continued to write and attend conferences and seminars by ambulance and delivered his speeches sitting on a wheelchair. He lost his voice twice as a result of cervical surgeries but regained it and even though only one side of his vocal cord was functioning, his voice remained influential.

Though in pain, he had strongly opposed the proposal to repeal the Sedition Act 1948 and the inclusion of section 88A into the Law Reform (Marriage and Divorce) 1976. The proposals were later abandoned by the government.

At the same time, through his speeches and writings, has sought to enlighten the Malays and Muslims in Malaysia about the dangers of disunity and to seek cooperation between UMNO and PAS, beginning with an agreement on the proposed amendment of the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965. His effort appears to be quite successful.

He had written about 350 keynote addresses, lectures, papers and articles. They are all available on his websites.

OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS

In 1981, while serving as Kelantan State Legal Advisor under the Barisan Nasional government, he prepared the Syari'ah Criminal Procedure Bill, the Syariah Civil Procedure Bill and the Islamic Family Law Bill to be tabled in the Kelantan State Legislative Assembly. The Enactments were passed and Kelantan became the first state in Malaysia to implement them.

When serving as a High Court Judge in Penang, he was appointed a member of the Penang Syariah Court of Appeal Panel of Judges. He played an important role in establishment of the Penang Syariah Court of Appeal, including the gazetting and the appointment of the first Chief Syariah Court Judge enabling the inaugural sitting of the court after a lapse of three years.

At the same time, he was also appointed as the chairman of the Civil and Syariah Civil Law Technical Committee, the only state with such a committee.

As a Court of Appeal Judge, he also served as Chairman of the Advocates and Solicitors Disciplinary Board. Among other things, he wrote a paper to simplify the procedure of disciplinary actions. Subsequently, the Legal Profession Act 1976  was amended to provide for it.

He was also a member of the Technical Committee on Civil and Syariah Laws at the national level.

APPOINTMENT AS MEMBER OF ADVISORY AND OTHER COMMITTEES

In 2004, when he was a Court of Appeal Judge, he was appointed a member of the Syariah Advisory Council of Bank Negara Malaysia and, subsequently, a member of the Syariah Advisory Council of the Securities Commission Malaysia. He was the first civil court judge appointed to the committee and served until 2016 when his health forced him to withdraw.

Upon his retirement, he was appointed a member of the Judicial Appointments Commission, Chairman of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Advisory Board, Chairman of Bank Negara's Civil and Syariah Harmonization Committee and Chairman of Bank Negara's Monetary Penalty Review Committee. The Federal Government had also appointed him Chairman of the Special Committee for the Determination of Cash Payments Claims From Petroleum Revenue In The East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. 

BOOKS

He had written eight books totaling 4,906 pages. The books are: I Will Never Beg, Saya Tidak Akan Melutut, The Truth Shall Prevail, Conflik dan Pengharmonian,Buat Kerja, Hakim Bukan Parlimen, No Judge Is A Parliament and Baca dan Fikir. He emphasized that every word, every comma and full stop was written or typed by him, including those which were done by him by holding the mini Ipad (later hand phone when the mini Ipad became too heavy for him) with one hand and typing with his stiff finger.

He has made wakaf of his books to the Federal Court, the High Courts, the Shariah Courts, the National and State Libraries, public universities and others besides giving free copies of Buat Kerja to officers of the Judicial and Legal Service and members of other associations.

The response from the public was beyond expectation. When the first book, I Will Never Beg, was published, the CEO of Sarawak SEDC, who later became a Minister of the State, who was unknown to him, came to his house and bought a substantial number of copies to be given to his division heads and as presents because, to him, the book was about integrity. Holding the book, he asked Tun Hamid “How many people can write a book with this title?”

A Judge of the High Court (later Federal Court), a Chinese lady, said “Anybody who knows Tun Hamid will know that the titles come from him.”

The greatest response came after Hakim Bukan Parlimen and No Judge Is A Parliament were published. A Federal Minister wanted all the copies Tun still had, which he used to give away as present, including to foreign dignitaries. Another Federal Minister bought the whole set to be given to every Cabinet Minister, not to mention a State Legal Advisor who bought enough copies to be given to the Exco members.

Another interesting point is that his books were bought and read by people from all walks of life. A person working on an oil and gas drilling ship bought a copy to read when at sea! A male lawyer with long red hair like Siti Kasim bought a number of them which he carries with him to read during his travels. On the other hand, the office of a Sultan bought the whole set for its library. The Private Secretary to DS TG Haji Hadi Awang bought a few of them for the Tuan Guru. “He likes the way Tun writes.”

Hakim Bukan Parliman won the National Book Award in the Premier Category. Tan Sri Prof Dr. Abdul Latif Abu Bakar, Chairman of the National Book Awards Committee described it as “Jelas, tepat dan padat.” For other comments of the books, see Selected Comments on this website.

HONORARY DEGREES AND PROFESSORSHIP

He was awarded the Honorary Doctorate of Management by the University of Tenaga Nasional Malaysia (UNITEN), Honorary Doctor of Philosophy in Syariah and Judiciary by Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) and Honorary Doctorate of Law by National University of Malaysia (UKM).
