Bukit Gombak Single Member Constituency (SMC) is a single member constituency in the western area in Singapore. The seat consists of the area surrounding Bukit Gombak MRT station and a few private housing estates such as the Hillview area. It was first formed in 1988 from parts of Bukit Batok SMC and was reinstated in 2025 after being separated from Chua Chu Kang GRC.

History

In 1988, Seet Ai Mee won narrowly against Ling How Doong on her first stint in politics, but was defeated 3 years later by Ling in 1991. Ling was then defeated by Ang Mong Seng in 1997.

During the 2001 Singaporean general election, Bukit Gombak SMC was absorbed as a ward into Hong Kah Group Representation Constituency (GRC).

In 2025, the SMC was recreated with the Bukit Gombak and Hillview estates. The recreation is due to population growth in Tengah in Chua Chu Kang GRC and to keep the electorate small enough such that the GRC remains a four-member GRC. ^[1]
