History
Brickworks GRC was created prior to the 1988 general election with three seats in Parliament; it was a merger of the constituencies of Alexandra, Brickworks and Queenstown. All constituencies with a single Member of Parliament (MP) were renamed single-member constituencies (SMCs).[1] The team for the governing People's Action Party (PAP) defeated the Workers' Party (WP) with 67.43% of the vote.[2]
During the 1991 general election, Brickworks GRC lost its Alexandra division while absorbing Pasir Panjang GRC; it became a four-seat GRC, as with all other GRCs at that election.[3] Incumbent MP Tan Soo Khoon was redeployed to Bedok GRC.[4] The PAP team won unopposed.[5]
Prior to the 1997 general election, Brickworks GRC was dissolved; its territory was distributed between Bukit Timah, Tanjong Pagar and West Coast GRCs.[6]
