Justin Wong Yun Bin

• Member of the Legislative Assembly for Sri Tanjong (N69) since September 2020, succeeding his father and securing a strong majority with 11,150 votes compared to his closest rival’s ~2,270 votes—majority of ~8,880 votes. This is his current legislative seat.
• Began political involvement at age 17, working under senior DAP leaders including his father Datuk Jimmy Wong and Chan Foong Hin (former ADUN Sri Tanjong), and later became Chief of DAPSY Tawau.
• During the COVID-19 period, opted to pivot campaign efforts away from large outdoor rallies, instead focusing on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, where he grew his audience rapidly (700+ live viewers first week; 1,000+ followers).
  
• Built a strong online presence to maintain voter engagement throughout campaign and governance.
  
• Pledged to prioritize development and public service over politics—focusing especially on fulfilling campaign promises and addressing constituent needs immediately after electoral victory.
• In the State Assembly, he raised issues related to water disruptions, power outages, and job mismatches affecting Tawau and Sri Tanjong residents, pressing for greater government responsiveness.
• Resigned from DAP in March 2022 and joined Sabah-based WARISAN, in a move that reflected his belief in locally-led political representation. Following the shift, he actively encouraged members of the Chinese community in Tawau to join WARISAN—spurred by greater alignment with Sabah’s local interests.
