Many workers and room renters live in Senai for years โ working at nearby factories โ without knowing who actually represents their area at the state government level. This article covers the basics: what the role is, who currently holds it, and how residents typically reach a representative's office for local issues.
What Is a State Assemblyman (ADUN) and DUN N52?
In Malaysia, a State Assemblyman (ADUN, short for Ahli Dewan Undangan Negeri) is the elected representative for one constituency at the state level โ distinct from a Member of Parliament, who represents a constituency at the federal level. The Senai area falls under DUN N52 Senai, one of several state constituencies within Johor.
Generally, a state assemblyman's role includes:
- Channeling state government allocations and grants for local projects (road upgrades, street lighting, community halls, for example)
- Handling resident complaints (water supply, electricity, rubbish collection, neighbourhood safety)
- Running casework and constituency service through a service centre, often called a "pejabat ADUN"
- Representing the constituency in sittings of the Johor State Legislative Assembly
Who Is Senai's (N52) Representative Now?
The current representative for DUN N52 Senai is Wong Bor Yang of DAP (Democratic Action Party). Verified facts:

Because this seat is being contested again in the 2026 Johor state election, who holds this position may change once official results are announced. This article does not take a position on any candidate, and simply states the fact that an election is taking place in 2026.
How Do Residents Reach the ADUN Office for Local Issues?
If you have a local issue โ a water supply cut, a broken street light, rubbish collection problems, or you want to enquire about a community grant โ residents typically use one of these channels:
- Service centre (pejabat ADUN) โ most Johor state assemblymen run a constituency service centre that takes complaints in person or by phone
- Official Facebook page โ the easiest way for residents to find the current office address, operating hours, and contact number, since these details can change
- Dewan Negeri Johor โ the official Johor State Legislative Assembly website also lists assembly members by constituency
We are not listing a specific office address or phone number here, as this kind of information can change and should be confirmed directly from an official source. Our suggestion: look up your representative's official Facebook page, or ask a neighbour, kampung head, or local JKKK (village community committee) chairperson for the current directions to the service centre.
Why Does This Matter for Room Renters?
Many room renters in Senai assume that issues like neighbourhood water supply, potholes, or residential area safety aren't their concern since they don't own the house they live in. In practice, anyone living in an area โ including renters โ can raise a complaint with that area's ADUN office. Knowing who represents your area and how to reach them is part of understanding the place you live in.
