He told reporters today that his refusal to carry out certain "agendas" could also have been part of the reason.
"The rumour of my transfer had been going on for four months, that there were 'invisible powers' who did not want me to be in the Special Branch," Hamid told the media at a press conference in Kota Damansara today.
"It could be because I had asked for the investigation into 1MDB to be carried out transparently," Hamid said.
Hamid was told of his transfer to a new security division in the Prime Minister's Department on August 18.
He said two weeks before the transfer order came out, he was instructed to present himself at Bukit Aman to meet with newly appointed Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, where he was given two choices for his next posting.
"The DPM, who is also Home Minister, patted me on the back and said he had met with with the Prime Minister after Friday prayers, and I had two options of the places I could go to. It was either the National Security Council or the Prime Minister's Department," said Hamid.
He said he was shocked, but chose the Prime Minister's Department (JPM).
