# Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency

The Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency is a five-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in Central and Western Singapore. The five divisions consists: Buona Vista, Queenstown, Moulmein-Cairnhill, Tanjong Pagar-Tiong Bahru and Henderson-Dawson managed by Tanjong Pagar Town Council. The current Members of Parliament are Chan Chun Sing, Joan Pereira, Alvin Tan, Eric Chua and Indranee Rajah from the People's Action Party (PAP).

## History

This GRC came into formation in 1991, when it absorbed the Tiong Bahru GRC, Telok Blangah and Tanjong Pagar Single Member Constituencies (SMC). Since the formation of the GRC, the ward was notable for its repeated walkovers. The last walkover was in 2011 when Tanjong Pagar GRC became the only constituency to be uncontested following the disqualification of a team of independent candidates (which led by Ng Teck Siong) as they submitted their nomination papers 35 seconds late.
In 2025, the GRC absorbed Dover and Telok Blangah from West Coast GRC. To maintain as a five-member GRC, the electorate was reduced by carving out Queenstown ward to form a new Queenstown SMC.
