The Jurong East–Bukit Batok Group Representation Constituency is a five-member group representation constituency (GRC) in the western region of Singapore. It has five divisions: Bukit Batok, Bukit Batok East, Clementi, Hong Kah North and Yuhua, managed by Jurong–Clementi–Bukit Batok Town Council.[1] The current Members of Parliament (MPs) for the constituency are Grace Fu, David Hoe, Lee Hong Chuang, Murali Pillai and Rahayu Mahzam from the People's Action Party (PAP).
Electoral history
Jurong East–Bukit Batok GRC was created for the 2025 general election by merging parts of Hong Kah North Single Member Constituency (SMC) and Jurong GRC with the whole of Bukit Batok SMC and part of Yuhua SMC.[2] Jurong Central SMC was created from Jurong GRC and the remainder of Yuhua SMC, while the Jurong Spring and Taman Jurong divisions of Jurong GRC were reassigned to West Coast–Jurong West GRC.[2][3]
The PAP announced that Grace Fu, incumbent MP for Yuhua SMC, would lead a team comprising fellow incumbents Murali Pillai (Bukit Batok SMC) and Rahayu Mahzam (Bukit Batok East), Lee Hong Chuang, a former branch chairperson[a] for Hougang SMC, and political newcomer David Hoe.[8] They defeated a team from Red Dot United (RDU) with 76.67% of the vote.[9][10]
