Mohamad Hamim bin Aliyas (born 1963) is a Singaporean politician and businessman who is currently the Chairman of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
Hamim worked in Far East Levingston Shipbuilding as a safety coordinator and also became a member of the security committee under Singapore's NTUC. He later worked as a property executive at Asia Premier Property Consultants, prior to setting up his own import and export business - Hamim International Pte Ltd.
Hamim first entered the Singapore political arena in 1992 when he became a member of the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP). In 1994, he was a founding member of the Singapore People's Party (SPP) (which was formed by a breakaway faction of the SDP), together with former SPP Chairman Sin Kek Tong. He would often helped out Chiam See Tong with his Meet-the-People Sessions at Potong Pasir SMC.
In the 2006 general election, Hamim contested as one of six members including Desmond Lim Bak Chuan under the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) banner in the Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC, raising issues such as transparency and accountability for Singapore’s Reserves. His SDA team lost, receiving just 31.3% of the votes against the team from the People's Action Party (PAP) represented by Teo Chee Hean, Teo Ser Luck, Charles Chong, Michael Palmer, Penny Low and Ahmad Magad.
