Syed Harun bin Taha Alhabsyi (born 1985) is a Singaporean politician and psychiatrist. A member of the governing People's Action Party (PAP), he has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Nee Soon Link division of Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency (GRC) since 2025. He had previously been a Nominated MP (NMP) between 2023 and 2025. He was the first former NMP to enter partisan politics.
First appointed as an NMP in 2023, Syed Harun resigned before completing his term to pursue a career in electoral politics, a move that drew criticism from former NMPs and observers who argued that it undermined the non-partisan intent of the scheme. While he defended his transition as a continuation of public service, it renewed debate about the purpose and neutrality of the NMP system.
