Why was no mention made that the late firebrand orator Khatijah Sidek was his wife?
There is a section in each biography where I have kept for family matters. The grandparents, parents, siblings, marriages, children and downline are in the proposed book.
Most of the inputs are from the children, relatives and friends of the first wife.
Khatijah Sidek is included except I don't know of her children's whereabouts. I need a better portrait of her if anyone has it.
I never know the history of my Grandpa & Great Granpa. My Dad is the son of Dr Hamzah never told me about this history. I'm so amazed by when i discovered facts about him
-Yusri Md Yusof-
Here is what I have on your grandfather and great grandfather as related by En Abdul Aris of Muar, Johor.

Dr Hamzah is the fourth of seven siblings from the same parents (first mother, Hajjah Halimah). His siblings are Haji Abdullah, Che’ Esah, Hamid, Dato’ Abdul Talib, Cikgu Yang Chik and Haji Abdul Aziz.
Dr Hamzah bin Mohd Taib married Hajjah Safiah bt Dato' Haji Abdullah.
They had 10 children – Anisah, Rokiah, Arfah, a daughter deceased at childhood, Jamaliah, Mustafa, Md Yusof, Khadijah, Yunus, and Ishak.
Md Yusof bin Hamzah (1940-2009) married Wan Hazizah bte Wan Ismail. They have five children - Jalidah, Salwati, Yuhana, Yusri and Yesser.
My dad, Aris bin Haji Abdul Aziz (nephew to Dr Hamzah), is among the contributors to Professor Faridah's book. He recently passed away in Johor Bahru on March 8, 2012.
TQ for informing about his demise. Inna lillahi wainna ilaihi rojiuun.

Prof Faridah
Wa'alaikumussalam Faidah Yusof,
TQ for visiting this website and for your comments.
My books on The Early Malay Doctors are not about politics or nationalism. There is very little information on political involvement of the doctors, except just a mention. There is more about their contributions to nation building, especially in the field of public health.
Please provide your research title, name of your supervisor, whether you are doing MSc or PhD, and your USM address where you are conducting your research.
You can email me further or contact me on WhatsApp.
TQ
