History
Tampines Changkat SMC was established for the 2025 general election from most of the Tampines Changkat division in Tampines Group Representation Constituency (GRC) and the 42nd polling district of East Coast GRC, reducing the number of voters in Tampines GRC.[1][2][3]
In the same election, Choo, the incumbent MP for the Tampines Changkat division, contested the SMC against Kenneth Foo from the Workers' Party (WP). Choo won with 56% of the vote.[4]

ICA investigation
Before the 2025 general election, an investigation by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) was launched in relation to the SMC after it was revealed that only one voter was registered in the EC42 polling district and was supposedly living in Tampines Industrial Park A. At the same time, of the four Build-to-Order (BTO) projects in the polling district, only one had been finished, with the residents receiving their keys after the finalisation of the Registers of Electors; thus, they could not vote in the SMC. The voter also said that he did not live at his registered address, a crime punishable by a fine of up to $5000 and a jail sentence of up to 5 years.[3] However, he received a verbal advisory instead for failure to update his address, having moved out of the industrial park in 2022.[5]
