Bedok Group Representation Constituency

History

Bedok GRC was established prior to the 1988 general election, comprising the three former constituencies of Bedok, Kampong Chai Chee, and Tanah Merah. Constituencies with a single Member of Parliament (MP) were renamed single-member constituencies (SMCs). The governing People's Action Party (PAP) defeated the Workers' Party (WP) with 54.92% of the vote.

During the 1991 general election, Bedok GRC was expanded to have four seats, as with all other GRCs at the election; it also absorbed the defunct SMCs of Fengshan and Siglap. The PAP defeated the WP with an improved 61.98% of the vote.

In the 1997 general election, Bedok GRC was one of two GRCs (the other being Eunos) merged into the newly created six-seat East Coast GRC.
