Tuan Haji Hassan Bin Muhammad PPN, PIS, PLP is a Segamat Historian. He was born in Segamat Johor on April 22, 1930. He was receiving his first education at the Tanjong Malim Training School (1936-1941), then at Sekolah Lelaki Bandar Segamat (1941-45). After that he was offered to further his study at the Sultan Idris Teachers College (SITC) now known as the Sultan Idris Education University, Tanjong Malim, Perak. He was the youngest student to succeed in pursuing his studies over there. After completing his studies at SITC he continued to serve as a qualified teacher and was the youngest teacher in Johor at that time. In 1962 he passed the Federal Malayan Certificate (FMC) and was the first local Malay to pass the exam. Then he was appointed as the youngest headmaster in Segamat District.

In 1966, he was offered to pursue his study at the Institut Pendidikan Guru Bahasa Melayu Campus (Language Institute in Lembah Pantai Kuala Lumpur). When he was there, he had gained the opportunity to master the fields of language and history, formally. He was given a project to conduct research and study and provide a manuscript on the History and Customs, as a prerequisite for graduation. In 1975, he was offered to study at the Special Teaching College.

He was a teacher and headmaster at several schools in Segamat since 1948. In 1961, he was appointed as the youngest headmaster in the Segamat District, then. On top of his excellence, he has been appointed by the Education Department as mentor to the newly appointed headmasters to strengthen education services in Johor. He was well-known for his philosophy of education which was based on a four-element of accountability in the school system in Johor. According to him, student's excellence can be achieved based on four factors of effort-involving teachers, the school environment, the parents and students themselves. Students can succeed well depending on 50% of the teacher's effort to teach. Students can very well succeed if added 20% in school environment improvement efforts including textbook facilities and assistance, food assistance, teaching and learning facilities, etc. Students can be excellent when adding 20% of the added value of parents at home and students can be very excellent only if added by 10% of the student's own effort. In other words, in terms of achievement, no student is supposed to fail in the school system in Malaysia.
