First existence (1984–1991)

Fengshan Constituency was created prior to the 1984 general election from parts of the constituencies of Bedok, Changi and Kampong Chai Chee.^[1] Arthur Beng from the governing People's Action Party (PAP) defeated Chng Chin Siah from the Singapore United Front (SUF) with 65.13% of the vote.^[2]

During the 1988 general election, the constituency was renamed Fengshan Single Member Constituency with the creation of group representation constituencies (GRCs).^[3] Beng won reelection with a decreased 57.92% of the vote in a rematch against Chng, who had since joined the Workers' Party (WP).^[4]

Prior to the 1991 general election, Fengshan SMC was abolished and merged to Bedok GRC.^[5]

Second existence (2015–2020)

Prior to the 2015 general election, Fengshan SMC was reformed from East Coast GRC, which it had previously belonged to as a division.^[6] In the election, PAP candidate Cheryl Chan defeated Dennis Tan, WP candidate and fellow newcomer, with 57.5% of the vote.^[7] Having obtained the second-best result among defeated opposition candidates, Tan accepted the second of three non-constituency MP (NCMP) seats offered after the election.^[8]

In the leadup to the 2020 general election, Fengshan SMC was reabsorbed to East Coast GRC, which gained a seat in Parliament to become a five-member GRC.^[9]
