WHY THE FOUNDATION EXISTS

Built on a belief that service should outlast any one generation.

The foundation carries the name of Tun Dato’ Seri Haji Abdul Hamid bin Haji Omar, whose career in law and public service culminated in his service as Chief Justice of the Federal Court of Malaysia. From its earliest years, the Yayasan linked his professional legacy to practical opportunities for students and communities.
