Perspective
Creation
Sengkang GRC was created in 2020 from the bulk of Sengkang West SMC, the entire Punggol East SMC and the Sengkang Central ward of the Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC.[1][2][3]
In the 2020 general election, the WP team of He Ting Ru, Raeesah Khan, Jamus Lim and Louis Chua won the GRC, marking the second opposition victory in a GRC since the introduction of GRCs in 1988. The WP won with 52.12% of the vote, defeating Ng Chee Meng and his team representing the governing People's Action Party (PAP), which garnered 47.88%.[4] It was also the first time the opposition won a newly created GRC.[5]
MP resignation
After winning the consistency, the WP divided the GRC into Buangkok, Anchorvale, Compassvale and Rivervale divisions.[6] On 30 November 2021, Raeesah Khan resigned as a Member of Parliament after making unsubstantiated allegations against the police in Parliament on three occasions.[7] After her resignation, the workload for the Compassvale division was distributed among the other MPs in Sengkang GRC. At the same time, then-sitting MP Faisal Manap from Aljunied GRC became an advisor for Compassvale until the 2025 general election.[8]
2025 general election
On 27 March 2022, the PAP team for the GRC was revamped with Lam Pin Min remaining; Ng Chee Meng, Amrin Amin and Raymond Lye were replaced with Elmie Nekmat, Theodora Lai Xi Yi, and Ling Weihong.[9] Ling was later replaced by Marcus Loh in October 2023,[10] who was himself replaced by Bernadette Giam in January 2025.[11] After the appointment of Giam, the PAP confirmed their final lineup for the 2025 general election.[12] Prior to the 2025 general election, the WP announced that Abdul Muhaimin, a senior property manager at Aljunied–Hougang Town Council (AHTC), would be contesting the GRC alongside the incumbent MPs.[13] Despite a national swing towards the PAP, the WP ended up retaining the GRC with 56.32% of the vote to the PAP's 43.68%, a positive swing of over 4%.[14]
