Han Hui Hui (Chinese: 韩慧慧; pinyin: Hán Huì Huì; born 24 July 1992) is a Singaporean activist and politician.[1] She is also a fellow at the Centre for Applied Human Rights of the University of York.[2]

Early life

Han grew up in Malaysia and was educated in Singapore.[3]

Political career

Early political activism (2013–2015)

Han began her protests at Hong Lim Park in 2013.[4] On 27 September 2014, Han was arrested along with other activists, including Roy Ngerng, for causing public nuisance and disrupting a charity carnival.[5] She was later convicted and fined $3,100 on 27 June 2016.[6]

First election campaign (2015)

In the 2015 general election, Han contested in Radin Mas Single Member Constituency (SMC) as an independent candidate, in a three-cornered contest against Kumar Appavoo of the Reform Party and Sam Tan of the People's Action Party (PAP).[7] Han's campaign slogan was "Return our CPF" (Central Provident Fund), and she campaigned largely on CPF and housing issues.[8]

Throughout the campaign, Han was accused by Reform Party secretary-general Kenneth Jeyaretnam of being sponsored by the defunct Socialist Front. Han would refute the accusations, instead criticising Jeyaretnam for losing his deposit in the 2013 Punggol East by-election.[9] Jeyaretnam would also say that Han was not fielded as a candidate for the Reform Party due to her "creative approach to truth".[10]

Han received 10.03% of the vote on election night, compared with Appavoo's 12.72% and Tan's 77.25%. As such, she lost her $14,500 election deposit.[11][12]

Political activism (2015-2025)

In 2018, she was removed from a select committee hearing after creating a disturbance. She had been raising a stack of papers, and was removed after refusing ushers who told her to stop.[13]

In 2022, she filed a lawsuit against the government, alleging that several COVID-19 vaccination measures were "unlawful" and "irrational". The lawsuit was later dismissed.[14]

Second election campaign (2025)

In the 2025 general election, Han was unveiled as a People's Alliance for Reform (PAR) candidate on Nomination Day, contesting in Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency (GRC).[15][16] In her speech that day, she criticised hecklers and blamed the PAP for problems that she stated were present in Singapore.[17]

Throughout the campaign, Han adopted the "3H" slogan, which stood for housing, healthcare and human rights, as the central focus of her platform. Her team suffered a heavy defeat on election night, securing only 18.98% of the vote in Tanjong Pagar GRC to the PAP's 81.02%, marking the PAP's largest victory margin in a GRC in Singapore's history.[18][19][20]

Personal life

She is married and has three children. In February 2026, her children were removed to a hospital for their safety after a domestic altercation.[21] They were returned in March 2026.[22]
