Sengkang West Single Member Constituency was a single member constituency (SMC) in the north-eastern region of Singapore. At abolition, it was managed by Ang Mo Kio Town Council. [2]
Prior to the 2011 general election, the constituency was formed from the Sengkang West division of Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency (GRC). [3] Lam Pin Min, then the Member of Parliament (MP) for said division, stood for reelection in the SMC; he defeated Koh Choong Yong from the Workers' Party (WP) with 58.1% of the vote. [4]
In 2015, part of the SMC was returned to Ang Mo Kio GRC; Lam won 62.1% of the vote in a rematch against Koh. [4]
For the 2020 general election, the SMC was abolished and split into two parts; one was returned to Ang Mo Kio GRC, the other merged into the newly created Sengkang GRC. [5]
