History

On 17 July 2023, it was revealed by Lee Hsien Loong that Cheng, who was not married, had an extramarital affair with fellow MP and Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin since at least November 2020, [1] which prompted their resignations from Parliament and the PAP on the same day. [2]

In 2025, the Tampines Changkat ward of the GRC was carved out to form the Tampines Changkat Single Member Constituency (SMC) for the 2025 general election. The removal was to reduce the number of voters in the GRC. [3] [4]
