Nurulhisham bin Yaakob is a Malaysian politician who served as Member of the Perlis State Executive Council (EXCO) in the Barisan Nasional (BN) state administration under former Menteri Besar Azlan Man from May 2017 to May 2018 for the first term and from June 2018 to the collapse of the BN state administration in November 2022 for the second term, as well as Member of the Perlis State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Simpang Empat from May 2013 to November 2022. He is a member of the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), a component party of the BN coalition.
On 12 May 2017, Nurulhisham was appointed as the Perlis State EXCO Member for the first term in charge of Public Facilities, Infrastructure, Rural Development, Poverty Eradication and Health by Menteri Besar Azlan to replace Jafperi Othman.[1]
On 13 June 2018, Nurulhisham was reappointed as the Perlis State EXCO Member for the second term in charge of Agriculture, Agro-based Industry, Plantation Industries, Commodities, Integrated Enforcement Coordination and Public Complaints by Menteri Besar Azlan.
On 22 November 2022, Nurulhisham lost his position after the BN state administration collapsed following the huge defeat of BN in the 2022 Perlis state election that wiped BN out of the assembly.
In the 2013 Perlis state election, Nurulhisham made his electoral debut after being nominated by BN to contest for the Simpang Empat state seat. He won the seat and was elected into the Perlis State Legislative Assembly as the Simpang Empat MLA for the first term after narrowly defeating Rus'sele Eizan of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) by a majority of only 85 votes.
In the 2018 Perlis state election, Nurulhisham was renominated by BN to defend the Simpang Empat seat. He defended the seat and was reelected as the Simpang Empat MLA for the second term after again narrowly defeating Rus'sele of Gagasan Sejahtera (GS) and Wan Noralhakim Shaghir Saad of Pakatan Harapan (PH) by a majority of only 82 votes.
In the 2022 Perlis state election, Nurulhisham was renominated by BN to defend the Simpang Empat seat. He lost the seat and was not reelected as the Simpang Empat MLA after losing to Razali Saad of Perikatan Nasional (PN) by a minority of 4,008 votes.
