History

Perspective
Before the 2020 general election, Sengkang GRC was formed by merging the bulk of Sengkang West SMC with Punggol East SMC and the Sengkang Central ward of the Pasir Ris–Punggol GRC.[1][2][3]
The WP team, led by He Ting Ru, won the GRC in the 2020 general election, marking only the second time the opposition won a GRC since the introduction of the GRC scheme in 1988. The WP team won with 52.12% against the People's Action Party (PAP) team, led by Ng Chee Meng, which garnered 47.88% of votes.[4]
WP divided the GRC into Buangkok, Anchorvale, Compassvale and Rivervale divisions.[5]
On 30 November 2021, Raeesah Khan resigned as a Member of Parliament after making unsubstantiated allegations in Parliament on three occasions.[6] After Khan's resignation, the workload for the Compassvale division was distributed among the other MPs in Sengkang GRC.
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.[7] Ling was later replaced by Marcus Loh in October 2023,[8] who was also later replaced by Bernadette Giam in January 2025.[9] PAP confirmed the team to be contesting for the 2025 general election.[10]
Prior to the 2025 general election, WP announced Abdul Muhaimin Abdul Malik, a senior property manager at Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC), will contest the GRC alongside incumbent MPs, He Ting Ru, Lim and Chua.[11]
