NEW YEAR STATE OF MIND

Actor and devoted parent Hisyam Hamid opens up on his 10-year journey in Malaysia and shares about his New Year's resolutions and outlook for 2023

Apart from risking his own life for the safety of others in harrowing, real-life situations, Hisyam has also spent the past 10 years of his acting career in Malaysia playing a fireman as well as a romantic hero in various productions.

On top of that, despite the long distance between him and his family in Singapore – the longest time apart being over a year throughout the pandemic – the devoted father of two has been constantly doing his best to provide for them and checking in on their well-being and growth. In the wake of the New Year, Hisyam looks back on his decade-long journey from zero to hero, and speaks exclusively to Augustman Malaysia about his plans going forward and desire for change, self-care and new opportunities.

They say behind every scar is an untold story. We couldn’t help but notice the deep scar on your hand. Please tell us the story behind it.

(Laughs) I have scars all over my body, my face, my neck. What I can say is that I was a very naughty person when I was younger. I got involved in a lot of things (laughs). This one was caused by a cigarette burn from an argument. Others were from motorbike accidents, punching something, etc.
