Early life edit

Hasyim was born in Bagansiapiapi, today in Rokan Hilir Regency, on 27 December 1944. He completed his basic education in North Sumatra.[1]

Career edit

In 1974, Hasyim became a civil servant for the Riau provincial government. He was promoted to head of the revenue office in the Riau Islands in 1983, which he served until 1997 when he was promoted to head of the economic bureau for the governor's office. In 1998, he became head of the mining bureau for the province, until June 2000 when he was appointed acting regent of Rokan Hilir Regency. He was later elected by the municipal council to serve as regent between 7 June 2001 and 2006.[1] He did not take part in the 2006 election for the regency.[2] After his tenure as regent, he was the chairman of the Raja Ali Haji Foundation, which operated the Lancang Kuning University [id] in Riau.[3]

Hasyim was elected by Riau's provincial legislature on 25 April 2017 as the vice gubernatorial replacement due to the vacancy created by the conviction of Annas Maamun for corruption and the elevation of his deputy Arsyadjuliandi Rachman in his place.[4] He was sworn in on 12 May 2017.[1] On 24 September 2018, with Rachman resigning as governor, Hasyim was appointed as acting governor of Riau,[5] and was appointed as full governor on 10 December 2018.[6] His term expired on 19 February 2019.[7]
