As Home Minister during
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's premiership, he was described as
"a failure and a non-performer" by a member of his own party. Syed Hamid was the Foreign Minister who in 2003
threatened a Malaysian journalist who was covering the Iraq war with a lawsuit for an article that he said was a personal attack against him and his ministry. He was also the Cabinet minister who in 2008 ordered the detention of the Sin Chew Daily journalist under the now-abolished Internal Security Act
"for her own safety".
