History

Its first contest happened in 2006 with the opponent being Singapore Democratic Alliance. For the 2011 general election, the incumbent People's Action Party announced that their team would be led by Teo Chee Hean, and include then-Senior Parliamentary Secretary Teo Ser Luck, Penny Low, as well as new candidates Janil Puthucheary, Gan Thiam Poh and Zainal Sapari.[1] In the 2015 general election, Penny Low retired from politics and new candidates Ng Chee Meng and Sun Xueling joined the team.[2]

In the 2020 general election, the GRC was reduced to five members, with a newly formed constituency called Punggol West SMC carved out from the boundaries of Pasir-Ris Punggol GRC and Sengkang Central ward carved out to become part of the new Sengkang GRC, the Tampines retail park (part of the Pasir Ris area) was also redrawn into Tampines GRC.[3][4]
