History

Kim Keat Single Member Constituency was absorbed in the 1991 elections. In 1997, the ward was merged along with Thomson GRC to form Bishan–Toa Payoh GRC.

Ong would resign in 1993 to contest in the Presidential Election and later become the 5th President of Singapore. After S. Dhanabalan retired from his cabinet position in 1994, it was one of the group representation constituencies without an anchor minister. [1]
