Bukit Gombak Single Member Constituency

Bukit Gombak Single Member Constituency (Traditional Chinese: 武吉甘柏單選區;Simplified Chinese: 武吉甘柏单选区) is a defunct Single Member Constituency in the western area in Singapore. The seat consists of Bukit Gombak New Town with it consisting of Bukit Gombak MRT station and a few private housing estates such as Hillview areas. It was formed in the 1988 which was crafted by 1984's Bukit Batok SMC where Dr Seet Ai Mee won against Ling How Doong on her first stint in politics, only to be defeated 3 years later in 1991 which saw her departure to Singapore's politics despite having an Acting Cabinet Minister portfolio then.

Ling, however, suffered the same fate as Seet when his bid for another term by Ang Mong Seng with another 3rd candidate taking a small portion of the votes. He had subsequently losing his votes share by half in his following attempts in 2001 (Nee Soon Central SMC^[1]) and 2006 (Bukit Panjang SMC^[2]) where his votes share hovers at around 20% instead of 40%+, including his first attempt on Chong Boon SMC.^[3]

Since then, in 2001, Bukit Gombak SMC was absorbed into Hong Kah GRC and the seat was since then abolished.
