Ab Halim bin Tamuri (born 9 October 1967) is a Malaysian politician, academic and lecturer who has served as Member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Paya Jaras since August 2023.
Ab Halim won the seat and was elected to the Selangor State Legislative Assembly as the Paya Jaras MLA for the first term after narrowly defeating Mohd Khairuddin Othman of Pakatan Harapan (PH) and independent candidate Nurhaslinda Basri by a majority of only 1,986 votes.
He stated that voters of the day were more intelligent in assessing whether the leader was capable of carrying out his responsibilities or just creating rhetoric to win the elections than in the past.
He claimed that with the maturity and changes in the existing political landscape, it was not impossible for PN to bring changes to voters, especially in Paya Jaras with its previous record of achievements.
