Punggol–Tampines Constituency was a constituency in Singapore, covering parts of Tampines and Punggol, that existed from 1955 to 1959.
History
The ward was formed in 1955, consisting largely of present-day Hougang, Pasir Ris, Punggol, Sengkang, Simei and Tampines. This north-eastern area of Singapore was considered rural and some of the least populated. At that time, there were only 6,628 voters in the constituency, of which only 3,886 turned out to vote.
In the 1959 election, this ward was split into Punggol Constituency and Tampines Constituency. Present-day Hougang, Punggol and Sengkang were carved out as part of Punggol Constituency. Tampines Constituency, on the other hand, absorbed significant parts of the former Ulu Bedok Constituency, becoming one of the larger wards in eastern Singapore. At that point, Tampines Constituency encompassed all of present-day Bedok (excluding Kampong Chai Chee, which belonged to Kampong Kembangan Constituency), along with Pasir Ris, Simei and Tampines.
