The Nee Soon Group Representation Constituency is a five-member group representation constituency (GRC) in northern Singapore. It has five divisions: Chong Pang, Nee Soon Central, Nee Soon East, Nee Soon Link and Nee Soon South, managed by Nee Soon Town Council. The current Members of Parliament (MPs) for the constituency are Goh Hanyan, K. Shanmugam, Jackson Lam, Lee Hui Ying and Syed Harun Alhabsyi from the governing People's Action Party (PAP).
History
Creation (2011)
Nee Soon GRC was created for the 2011 general election. It comprised parts of the GRCs of Ang Mo Kio and Sembawang, as well as the single-member constituencies (SMCs) of Nee Soon Central and Nee Soon East. Led by K. Shanmugam, the PAP team defeated the Workers' Party (WP) with 58.40% of the vote.
2015
During the 2015 general election, the Canberra division and portions of Chong Pang, Nee Soon East and Nee Soon South divisions from Nee Soon GRC (forming Gambas division) were moved back to Sembawang GRC while Kebun Baru division of Ang Mo Kio GRC was moved here instead. The PAP once again faced off a challenge from the Workers' Party team winning an improved 66.83% of the vote.
2020
Prior to the 2020 general elections, the Kebun Baru division was carved out as an SMC due to the rising population of the GRC. Lee Bee Wah retired from politics and was replaced by Carrie Tan. While the Workers' Party did not contest in Nee Soon GRC, the Progress Singapore Party contested here instead. The PAP managed to retain the GRC with 61.90% of the vote against the PSP's 38.10%.
2025 elections
Prior to the 2025 general election, Shanmugam announced that he will be leading a new team for the GRC with four new members, former Nominated MP Syed Harun Alhabsyi, Jackson Lam (former PAP Hougang branch chairman), Lee Hui Ying and Goh Hanyan. Former incumbent MPs Louis Ng, Carrie Tan and Derrick Goh announced their retirement from politics, while Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim moved to Marine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC.
