Abdul Hamid Bador

Abdul Hamid graduated from the National University of Malaysia (UKM) with a degree in policing science in 2001. In 2008, he also attended the University of Birmingham as a Chevening Scholar.

On 18 August 2015, Abdul Hamid was removed from his post as deputy director (I) of the SB and transferred to the Prime Minister's Department having served in the PDRM for 37 years.{{cite web|url=https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2019/03/469478/abdul-hamid-bador-nations-no-2-cop|title=Abdul Hamid Bador is nation's No. 2 cop|date=15 March 2019|work=Adrian David|publisher=New Straits Times|access-date=6 April 2019}}{{cite web|url=https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2019/03/15/special-branch-chief-abdul-hamid-takes-deputy-igp-role/|title=Special Branch chief Abdul Hamid takes on deputy IGP role|date=15 March 2019|work=Soo Wern Jun|publisher=Free Malaysia Today|access-date=6 April 2019}} He was supposed to helm a newly created 'Security and Transnational' division at the Prime Minister's Department.{{cite web|url=http://english.astroawani.com/malaysia-news/ill-never-turn-against-tun-mahathir-abdul-hamid-bador-70654|title='I'll never turn against Tun Mahathir' - Abdul Hamid Bador|date=20 August 2015|access-date=6 April 2019|publisher=Astro Awani}} However, he created a controversy by refusing to clock in at the Prime Minister's Department and suggesting that it was part of a cover-up into the investigations of the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal.{{cite web|url=https://www.thesundaily.my/archive/1571311-JSARCH331669|publisher=The Sun (Malaysia)|title=Former SB cop claims cover up|date=4 October 2015|access-date=6 April 2019}} Alleging that his transfer was the consequence of publicly showing support towards former Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad, a vocal critic of then Prime Minister Najib Razak, he insisted that he will not back down from criticising the handling of the 1MDB investigations despite becoming the target of clandestine operations by 'friendly' agencies.{{cite web|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2015/10/08/special-branch-hamid-bador-not-backing-down-on-criticisms/|date=8 October 2015|access-date=6 April 2019|publisher=The Star (Malaysia)|work=Akil Yunus|title=From Special Branch top cop to 'enemy of the state'}} He was removed almost simultaneously with the then Attorney General of Malaysia, Abdul Gani Patail, SB director, Akhil Bulat, and the Commissioner of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), Abu Kassim Mohamed, and his deputy, Mohamad Shukri Abdull.{{cite web|access-date=6 April 2019|url=https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/309809|publisher=Malaysiakini|date=25 August 2015|title=Removal of special branch top duo is red flag for ex-IGP}}

On 21 May 2018, following Najib's and Barisan Nasional's (BN) defeat in the 2018 Malaysian general election, Abdul Hamid, together with Abdul Gani, Abu Kassim and Mohd Shukri, were appointed to the 1MDB special investigation task force by the newly elected Pakatan Harapan (PH) government.{{cite web|publisher=Free Malaysia Today|url=https://www.freemalaysiatoday.com/category/nation/2018/05/21/putrajaya-reactivates-4-body-1mdb-special-task-force/|access-date=6 April 2019|date=21 May 2018|title=Putrajaya reactivates 4-body 1MDB special task force}}{{cite web|url=https://www.nst.com.my/news/crime-courts/2018/05/372475/special-branch-share-intel-1mdb|publisher=New Straits Times|date=23 May 2018|access-date=6 April 2019|title=Special Branch to share intel on 1MDB|work=Safeek Affendy Razali}} Two days later, Abdul Hamid was reappointed to the SB, but as its new director, following the expedited retirement of Mohamad Mokhtar Mohd Shariff.{{cite web|url=https://sg.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-abdul-hamid-returns-special-044919709.html|publisher=Yahoo!|access-date=6 April 2019|title=(EXCLUSIVE) Abdul Hamid returns to Special Branch, reports for duty as chief|work=Farrah Naz Karim|date=23 May 2018}}

On 15 March 2019, following Noor Rashid Ibrahim's retirement from the PDRM, Abdul Hamid took over acting duties of the DIG. He was also widely expected to take over as Malaysia's top cop with current Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Mohamad Fuzi Harun due to retire in May 2019. Following the Human Rights Commission of Malaysia's (SUHAKAM) announcement that its findings concluded that the SB was responsible for the disappearances of Amri Che Mat and Raymond Koh in 2016 and 2017 respectively, and still missing as of 2019, Abdul Hamid rapped SUHAKAM for causing negative impact towards the PDRM.{{cite web|url=https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2019/04/476746/police-impacted-badly-suhakams-allegation|publisher=New Straits Times|date=6 April 2019|access-date=6 April 2019|title=Police impacted badly by Suhakam's allegation|work=Bernama}}{{cite web|url=https://www.malaysiakini.com/news/471139|work=Bernama|publisher=Malaysiakini|access-date=6 April 2019|date=6 April 2019|title=Acting DIGP confident IGP Fuzi will answer 'enforced disappearance' claims}} He added that he was confident that IGP Mohamad Fuzi, then SB director, would provide an answer to the allegations.

Following his previous call to his fellow officers to distance themselves from criminals and corruption just slightly more than a week before, Abdul Hamid issued another stern warning in early June 2019 to his colleagues after reports emerged that several officers in charge of police districts (OCPDs) solicited funds for Eid al-Fitr celebrations.
