The
History of SMKA Maahad Hamidiah.
Sekolah Menengah
Kebangsaan Agama (SMKA) Maahad Hamidiah is a secondary school established
in 1977. It is an Islamic oriented school and was founded by Ustaz
Haji Abdul Hamid bin Daud. He established the school with the
help of locals in 1963 and at first was given the name as Sekolah
Arab Kajang (Arabic School of Kajang).
The school was at first located in Batu 14, Cheras,
opposite the Jamek Mosque, Kajang. At that time, there were only
nine teachers and one hundred to three hundred students from 1964
to 1970 and eventually the number had grown to more than three hundred
in 1971.
When the management
of the school was taken over by the Malaysian Ministry of Education,
they changed the name to SMKA Maahad Hamidiah, to commemorate the
founder, Ustaz Haji Abdul Hamid. In January 1978, the ministry
took 108 Form 1 students from primary schools around Selangor and
the number of teachers had also increased to ten.
The increase of students had prompted the Parents
and Teachers Association to ask the ministry to find a new place
for the students. After many years, on 16th of September 1984 SMKA
Maahad Hamidiah had moved to Jalan Sungai Ramal Luar, Kajang. The
new SMKA Maahad Hamidiah had two blocks of school, two blocks of
hostels, a dining hall, a canteen and two teacher quaters.
Presently, SMKA
Maahad Hamidiah had grown bigger in the number of facilities and
students. Not only that, the school had achieved many success in
academic and cocuriculum activities at national and international
level. There are also five types of martial arts being practiced
by the students as their cocurricular activities such as Silat Gayong
Pusaka, Silat Cekak Hanafi, Tae Kwon Do, Karate Do and recently
Yoshinkan Aikido.
