Tampines Constituency

In the 1955 general elections, this ward started as part of Punggol–Tampines Constituency which consisted of largely present-day Hougang, Pasir Ris, Punggol, Sengkang, Simei and Tampines. These were considered rural areas of Singapore and had a very low population (there were only 6,628 voters then, of which only 3,886 of them turned out to vote).

In 1959, prior to the 1959 general election, the Punggol–Tampines Constituency was split into two constituencies, Punggol and Tampines Constituencies. Tampines constituency took on significant portions of Ulu Bedok Constituency and part of the original of the Punggol–Tampines Constituency to become one of the larger wards in eastern Singapore.

From 1968, no significant changes were made to the constituency until 1984 when Simei and part of Tampines (which is south of Tampines Avenue 2) formed the new Changkat Constituency due to the growing population in the fast-development in Tampines New Town. From 1984 to 1988, this ward then only consisted of present-day Tampines and Pasir Ris. The ward only contain the residents committees in Tampines that is north of Tampines Avenue 2.

In 1988, the constituency was merged into Tampines Group Representation Constituency following the establishment of Group representation constituency (GRC) and Single Member Constituency (SMC).^[1]
