Wayne Ong Chun Wei (; born 1989) is a Malaysian politician who has served as Member of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Balakong since August 2023. He is a member of the Democratic Action Party (DAP), a component party of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition. He has also served as the Youth Secretary of DAP since March 2022 and State Youth Chief of DAP of Selangor since June 2022. He served as Member of the Sepang Municipal Council (MPSepang) from 2016 to 2018 and State Youth Secretary of DAP of Selangor from November 2018 to his promotion to State Youth Chief in June 2022.[1]
Ong was also the Confidential and Political Secretary to Member of the Selangor State Executive Council (EXCO) and MLA for Kinrara Ng Sze Han for 5 years. However, he joined the team of Ng in 2013 and has worked with him even before he was appointed his secretary for about 10 years. When he was the Member of MPSepang, Ong organised children activities that were also attended by parents and provided chances for the community residents to form closer relations. During his tenure as the secretary to Ng, Ong helped the Selangor people to register for welfare programmes of the state government of Selangor, handled the transfers of schools of students, visited patients and attended other community activities.[2]
In the 2023 Selangor state election, Ong made his electoral debut after being nominated by PH to contest the Balakong state seat. Ong won the seat and was elected to the Selangor State Legislative Assembly as the Balakong MLA after defeating Steven Lai Choon Wen of Perikatan Nasional (PN) by a majority of 37,832 votes.[3] [4]
As the Balakong MLA, Ong pledged to become the bridge between the people, traders and the state government, advance the industrial areas in Balakong to meet the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) target, establish neighborhood culture and strengthen community bonds in Balakong. He also revealed that one of his predecessors as the Balakong MLA Eddie Ng Tien Chee was his role model in his work as the Balakong MLA.[5]
Ong is married to his wife with children.
