Sheik Mohamed Jamaludin

Sheik Mohamed Jamaludin (Paramaribo, 14 July 1906[1] – 22 April 1961) was a businessman, entrepreneur, estate member/politician and chairman of 2 religious organisations.

He was a member of the board and longtime chairman of both the 'Surinaamse Islamitische Vereniging' (SIV) and the in 1947 founded 'Moeslim Partij' (Muslim Party).

That party merged early 1949 into the Verenigde Hindostaanse Partij  (VHP).

His brother-in-law Ashruf Karamat Ali, a KTPI-candidate, was also elected to become a member of the Estates of Suriname.

Karamat Ali was initially not sworn in because he had fewer votes then Jamaludin.
