Punggol Single Member Constituency

Not to be confused with the present ward in parts of Punggol called as Punggol East Single Member Constituency which was formed prior to 2011 general elections by craving out from Pasir Ris-Punggol Group Representation Constituency.

Punggol Single Member Constituency (Traditional Chinese: 榜鵝單選區; Simplified Chinese: 榜鵝单选区) is a former single member constituency in the undeveloped Punggol (Along the line in Punggol Road), from 1959 to 1991.

Formation and dissolution

In the early days from the 1955, this ward was created as Punggol-Tampines Constituency by consiting of largely present Hougang, Pasir Ris, Punggol, Sengkang, Simei, Tampines areas where all of these areas are still considered rural areas as they are one of the least populated area. (There was only 6,628 voters, out of which only 3,886 of them turn out.)

Subsequently in 1959, that ward had splited Punggol and Tampines portion. For that, it means the present day equivalent of Hougang, Punggol and Sengkang portions are formed as this Punggol ward.^[1]

It was merged into Cheng San GRC in 1991, and the area was only developed after 1991.
