Kluang Municipal Council (Malay : Majlis Perbandaran Kluang, MPKluang), previously known as the Kluang North District Council (Malay : Majlis Daerah Kluang Utara) is the local authority which administrates the town of Kluang in Kluang District, Johor, Malaysia since 8 May 2001. The latter was formed on 1 January 1977 by merging the Kluang Town Council (previously known as the Kluang Town Board from 1920 until 1957) and the local councils of Kampong Paya, Kampong Gajah, Sri Lalang, Chamek and Paloh. [1] Its current headquarters is located at Persiaran Utama Bandar Primer, replacing its previous location at Jalan Kota Tinggi since 1 July 2025. [2]

Emblem history

The original emblem of Kluang Municipal Council adopted since its establishment on 8 May 2001, consisted of a fruit bat – the namesake animal of the town in the middle of the yellow shield. [3] Other symbols on the shield include A crescent and star representing Islamic faith, Orange Jasmine as the town flower, boxes representing urban Development and three tildes to symbolise the Mengkibol River that flows through the town. [4] In 2018, as part of the state government's effort to standardise the local government emblems to reflect the state's rapid economic development, the Kluang Municipal Council emblem was slightly modified by replacing the fruit bat with the locomotive. Also added to the emblem were two Johor State arms tigers and a blue scroll inscribed with the local authority's name and motto in Romanised Malay. [5]

Presidents of Kluang

To date, 38 people have been appointed as presidents of Kluang Town Board and Town, District and Municipal Councils, two of which are women. [6]
