The Parti Hizbul Muslimin Malaysia or Muslim People's Party of Malaysia (HAMIM) was a political party in Malaysia.
HAMIM was founded in 1983 by Asri Muda former President of the Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS) (1969-1982) and former Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) of Kelantan following the failure of PAS to win back the Kelantan state government in the Malaysian general election, 1982 and his loss of the PAS presidency by the cleric faction in 1982. Founded as an alternative to PAS, HAMIM has joined the ruling coalition Barisan Nasional (BN) after its foundation in 1983. In 1989 just before the Malaysian general election, 1990, the new leadership of HAMIM has decided to leave BN.[1] [2] It has joined the opposition coalition of Angkatan Perpaduan Ummah (APU) from 1990 until the coalition's dissolution in 1996. HAMIM after failed to make much progress and achieve any electoral success plus internal fighting has become defunct since.
