Joo Chiat Single Member Constituency
Joo Chiat Single Member Constituency is a defunct Single Member Constituency located in the eastern region of Singapore. The SMC encompasses the areas of Joo Chiat, Katong, opera estate, Siglap and a portion of telok kurau. It had previously existed from 1959 until 1988, when it was merged with neighbouring constituencies to form Bedok Group Representation Constituency. It was reformed just before the 2001 general election after being carved out from East Coast Group Representation Constituency. The seat has been held by the People's Action Party since its reformation that year and was contested again in 2006.
Bukit Panjang and Mountbatten currently share the roots where it has been interrupted due to Group Representation Constituency system, where it had been merged into the respective bigger constituencies at different times. No other constituencies has survived longer without the interruption after Chua Chu Kang had been merged into Chua Chu Kang GRC. A few constituency names remains the same from all the Group Representation Constituency.
After the HDB flats demolished in Joo Chiat constituency, the constituency will be merged into Marine Parade GRC in 2015.Members of Parliament
