Hashim bin Aman (1 September 1929 – 21 May 2018) was a Malaysian civil servant who served as the 7th Chief Secretary to the Government of Malaysia from 1982 to 1984.[1]
Early life and education[edit]

After several months, the PAS-led government under the Menteri Besar has been overthrown by the UMNO/Barisan Nasional party after getting a majority during the 1978 elections.[3]
