Note: This article is neutral community information only. It is not a political endorsement by senaibilik.com of any individual or party. The 2026 Johor state election is over (polling was on 12 July 2026); we only report the official results as published.
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
According to Wikipedia, DUN Senai covers 17 polling districts, including Senai Baru, Seelong, UTM, Bandar Senai (north, central, south), Taman Muhibbah, Lengkongan, Taman Selatan and Dawani, plus parts of Bandar Kulai. So it is more than just Senai town โ it takes in several residential areas around it.
Who Is Senai's (N52) Representative Now?
As of 30 Oct 2026, the representative for DUN N52 Senai is Wong Bor Yang of DAP (Democratic Action Party). Verified facts:

ADUN, MPKu or MP? Who Handles What
Many people are unsure where to send a complaint. A quick guide:
| Issue | Usually start with | |---|---| | Community projects/allocations, casework help | The ADUN's service centre | | Uncollected rubbish, broken street lights, drains, public facilities | Kulai Municipal Council (MPKu), the local authority | | Employer or wage problems | Labour Department (JTK), not the ADUN โ see our guide to JTK wage complaints |
MPKu has official complaint channels. According to the MPKu portal, you can use the Public Complaints Management System (SISPAA), or contact their office at Jalan Pejabat Kerajaan, 81000 Kulai (tel 07-661 3000, email mpku@mpku.gov.my). For small things like a street light, complaining directly to MPKu is usually faster than going through an intermediary.

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 (use the constituency filter and pick N52 Senai)
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.
Checklist Before You Send a Complaint
- Write the exact location (taman name, lane number, nearby landmark)
- Take a photo or video of the problem (pothole, dead street light, blocked drain) with the date
- Say how long the problem has existed and whether you have reported it elsewhere
- Include a phone number so the officer can ask for more details
- Keep the complaint reference or a screenshot of the message (if you use an online system)
Common Mistakes
- Sending a wage or employer complaint to the ADUN โ the right route is JTK
- Vague complaints ("the road is bad") with no location and no photo
- Venting on social media only, without using an official channel
- Not following up โ if there is no reply after a week, contact them again with the same reference
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.
One practical point: if the problem is inside the rented house (leaking pipe, faulty wiring), that is for the landlord โ not the ADUN. Complaints to the ADUN or MPKu suit problems outside the house: roads, lights, drains, public rubbish.
What to Do / Who to Call
- Bad roads, street lights, rubbish, drains: Kulai Municipal Council (MPKu), Jalan Pejabat Kerajaan, 81000 Kulai, tel 07-661 3000, email mpku@mpku.gov.my, or the complaint form and SISPAA at mpku.gov.my/aduan (as of 30 Oct 2026).
- Unpaid wages or employer problems: Johor Bahru Labour Office, tel 07-222 2400, Levels 9 & 10, Menara Ansar, 65 Jalan Trus, 80000 Johor Bahru (JTK). Guide: JTK wage complaints.
- The ADUN's service centre: we could not confirm an address or phone number from an official source, so none is listed. Check the Dewan Negeri Johor site (pick N52 Senai in the constituency list) or the representative's official page.
- Problems inside your rented house (leaking pipe, faulty wiring): the landlord, not the ADUN or MPKu.
