Punggol Single Member Constituency


Punggol Single Member Constituency was a former single member constituency in the undeveloped Punggol, from 1959 to 1991.

Formation and dissolution

The ward was part of the newly created Punggol–Tampines Constituency in 1955, consisting largely of present-day Hougang, Pasir Ris, Punggol, Sengkang, Simei and Tampines. At that time, these were considered rural areas and were some of the least populated areas in Singapore.
Subsequently, in 1959, that ward had split into Punggol SMC and Tampines SMC. The then-Punggol constituency in 1959 comprised the present day Hougang, Punggol and Sengkang.
The constituency continued to grow and Hougang SMC was spun off in 1988. Punggol was merged into Cheng San GRC in 1991, and the area saw development after 1991 which was much more rapid after 2000.
