Sembawang Group Representation Constituency
Sembawang Group Representation Constituency is a five-member Group Representation Constituency located in the northern area of Singapore. The GRC consists of Sembawang, Woodlands, Admiralty, Canberra and Gambas. It also encompasses a section of Singapore's northern territorial waters in the Straits of Johor.
Now, Sembawang GRC is anchored by Minister for Transport Ong Ye Kung.History
Since its creation in 1988, the GRC has been held by the People's Action Party and it has been uncontested at every general election until the general election in 2006. The Group Representation Constituency was led by former Deputy Prime Minister and PAP chairman Tony Tan until his retirement in 2006, who would later go on to serve as the seventh President of the Republic of Singapore, and also was led by Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan from 2006 to 2020 together with his co-led Education Minister Ong Ye Kung. Ong has joined the team in 2015 General Elections.
The largest number of voters meant that the constituencies are split into Holland–Bukit Panjang GRC in 2001, Nee Soon GRC in 2011 and Marsiling–Yew Tee GRC in 2015. Nee Soon GRC had handed back Simpang planning area to Sembawang GRC to allow further development in 2015. With the growing development of both Sembawang and Yishun new towns, the next election saw Yishun portion of Gambas, as well as Simpang hiving off to Nee Soon GRC.Members of Parliament
