Prior to the 2020 general election, the GRC was reduced to five members, with the new Punggol West Single Member Constituency (SMC) and Sengkang Central ward (which would become part of the new Sengkang GRC) carved out. The Tampines retail park (part of the Pasir Ris area) was also redrawn into Tampines GRC.[3][4] During the election, the contest for the GRC was a three-cornered fight between PAP, Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) and Peoples Voice (PV). PAP was led by Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, SDA was led by Desmond Lim, who announced that he would step down as chairman after the election[5] and PV was led by Lim Tean. The PAP team eventually won the contest with 64.16 percent of the vote. while SDA garnered 23.67 percent. PV lost its $67,500 election deposit after garnering only 12.18 percent of the votes, falling just 0.32 percent short of the one-eighth threshold (12.5 percent) in order to keep their deposit.[6]
Abolition
In 2025, the GRC was abolished and split up into two portions to form two new GRCs. The Punggol estates were merged with Punggol West SMC to form the Punggol GRC and the remaining estates, along with the Loyang and Flora estates in the East Coast GRC, formed the Pasir Ris–Changi GRC.[7]
Note : Elections Department Singapore do not include rejected votes for calculation of candidate's vote share. Hence, the total of all candidates' vote share will be 100%.
