## History

[edit]

### Early history

[edit]

Prior to the 1997 general election, the GRC was expanded to five members from the four it had when it was created for the 1991 general election.[1][2] For the 2001 general election, it was expanded again to six members to include the Cheng San and Jalan Kayu divisions from the former Cheng San GRC.[3][4]

### Since 2006

[edit]

During the 2006 general election, the GRC was considered a battleground as it faced its first electoral contest since its creation; a group of Generation X candidates from the Workers' Party (WP), led by Yaw Shin Leong, was contesting against the PAP.[5] Lee, the PAP anchor and then-Prime Minister, called the WP team a "suicide squad", with the WP team responding by claiming that they were not pushovers.[6] Eventually, the PAP won the GRC with 66.14% of the vote to the WP's 33.86%, slightly lower than the PAP's 66.6% of the national vote.[7]

During the 2011 general election, Intan Azura Mokthar joined the team while Wee Siew Kim retired from politics and Lam Pin Min left the GRC to contest alone as his Sengkang West ward was carved out as a SMC. Yeo Guat Kwang was redeployed from Aljunied GRC his ward was moved to the GRC. The PAP team won with an improved 69.33% of the vote against the Reform Party (RP), a higher percentage than all other GRCs. This was despite a national swing against the PAP where the PAP only won 60.14% of the popular vote.[8]

Before the 2015 general election, Inderjit Singh and Seng Han Thong retired from politics,[9][10] while Yeo Guat Kwang was redeployed to lead an ultimately defeated PAP team attempting to reclaim Aljunied GRC from the WP, which had gained it from the PAP in 2011. Koh Poh Koon and Darryl David replaced the latter two, while Gan Thiam Poh was redeployed from Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC.[11][12]

Before the 2020 general election, with the abolition-in-practice of six-member GRCs, the GRC was shrunk to five members, with the Yio Chu Kang division carved out to become Yio Chu Kang Single Member Constituency (SMC). Newcomers Ng Ling Ling and Nadia Ahmad Samdin joined the team while Koh left for Tampines GRC after his ward was carved out as a SMC.[13] On election day, the PAP defeated the RP with 71.91% of the vote.[14][15]

During the 2025 general election, the GRC saw its first three-way contest between the incumbent PAP, the People's Power Party (PPP), and the Singapore United Party (SUP), the last of which was participating in its first general election.[16] Lee, now the Senior Minister, continued to lead the PAP team, while Jasmin Lau, a newcomer, and Victor Lye, a former team leader for the PAP in Aljunied GRC, were fielded to replace Ng and Gan, who had retired from politics.[17][18][19] The PAP won the contest with almost 79% of the vote; the other two parties received around 10% each.[20] For failing to secure at least 12.5% of the vote, both PPP and SUP forfeited their election deposits.[20]

## Constituency profile

[edit]

The constituency encompasses the majority of Ang Mo Kio (Teck Ghee, Cheng San, portions of Yio Chu Kang), Seletar Hills, the northern half of Serangoon North, a portion of northern Hougang and a portion of Sengkang; specifically, Sengkang Depot and the south of Fernvale. It is served by the MRT stations of Yio Chu Kang and Ang Mo Kio in the west, and the LRT stations of Layar and Fernvale on the Sengkang LRT line in Fernvale and the future Tavistock MRT.
