The Sembawang Group Representation Constituency is a five-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) located in the northern area of Singapore. The GRC consists: Sembawang Central, Naval Base, Woodlands, Admiralty and Canberra divisions managed by Sembawang Town Council. It also encompasses a section of Singapore's northern territorial waters in the Straits of Johor. The current Member of Parliament s are Gabriel Lam, Mariam Jaafar, Ng Shi Xuan, Ong Ye Kung and Vikram Nair from the People's Action Party (PAP).
History
In 2025, Sembawang West was carved out of the GRC to form a new Sembawang West Single Member Constituency (SMC) for the 2025 general election in order to reduce the number of voters in the GRC.[1][2]
In the 2025 elections, the National Solidarity Party (NSP) and the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) were in talks hoping to avert a three-cornered fight in the constituency.[3] However, on 12 April, both parties were unable to come to an agreement as NSP rejected SDP's proposal for NSP to instead contest in Holland–Bukit Timah.[4]
Due to Sembawang West ward being carved out of the GRC, incumbent MP for the ward, Poh, left the GRC team to contest the Sembawang West SMC.[5]
