Muhammad Hilman bin Idham[1] (born 2 February 1989) is a Malaysian politician who has served as Member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Gombak Setia since May 2018. He is a member of the Malaysian United Indigenous Party (BERSATU), a component party of the Perikatan Nasional (PN) coalition and was a member of the People's Justice Party (PKR), a component of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition.[2]

Political career

Hilman served as political secretary to Azmin Ali during his time as Minister of Economic Affairs (2018-2020) and Senior Minister of International Trade and Industry (2020-2022).

Hilman then succeeded Wan Ahmad Fayhsal as the 3rd Youth Chief of BERSATU.

In July 2024, an aide to Hilman Idham, Zulfahimin Mahdzir, was sentenced to 13 years in prison and received two strokes of the rotan for raping an acquaintance of Hilman. The Kuala Lumpur sessions court ruled that Zulfahimin failed to raise any reasonable doubt in his defence. The incident, which occurred in December 2020, involved the victim being intoxicated at the time. The case highlighted issues of intimidation and the victim's struggle to seek justice.[3]
