History

Prior to the 2011 general election, the constituency was carved out of Hong Kah Group Representation Constituency (GRC) as a SMC; it had previously been a division in said GRC. ^[1] Hong Kah GRC was abolished at the same time in favour of Chua Chu Kang GRC. ^[2] Amy Khor, the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for the GRC division, sought reelection in the SMC as the candidate for the governing People's Action Party (PAP); she won 70.61% of the vote against Sin Kek Tong, the chairman of the Singapore People's Party (SPP). ^{[1] [3]} She went on to win an increased 74.76% of the vote in 2015 against Ravi Philemon, also from the SPP. ^{[1] [4]}

In 2020, the constituency lost its Jurong West section to West Coast and Chua Chu Kang GRCs; in return, it received the remainder of Tengah from Chua Chu Kang GRC. ^[5] Khor won reelection against Gigene Wong from the Progress Singapore Party (PSP) with a decreased 60.99% of the vote. ^{[1] [6]}

In 2025, the constituency was dissolved. The entirety of Tengah was returned to Chua Chu Kang GRC; ^[7] the remaining estates in Bukit Batok West, alongside Bukit Batok and Yuhua SMCs, were merged with part of the defunct Jurong GRC to form Jurong East–Bukit Batok GRC. ^[8]
