The Jurong Central Single Member Constituency[a] is a single-member constituency (SMC) situated in western Singapore. It is managed by Jurong–Clementi–Bukit Batok Town Council (JRBBTC). The current Member of Parliament (MP) is Xie Yao Quan from the People's Action Party (PAP).

History

Jurong Central SMC was created prior to the 2025 general election, having been split from Jurong Group Representation Constituency (GRC), the constituency with the best performance for the governing PAP during the 2015 and 2020 general elections.[2] The SMC was officially created to ensure that the newly created Jurong East–Bukit Batok GRC (which itself was created from the split of Jurong GRC) remained represented by five MPs.[3] At creation, Jurong Central SMC had a total of 29,620 registered voters, with 25,668 from Jurong GRC and the remaining from Yuhua SMC.[2]

The PAP fielded Xie, the incumbent MP for the Jurong Central division in Jurong GRC, to stand for reelection in the SMC.[4] He defeated Kala Manickam from Red Dot United (RDU) with 80.51% of the vote.[5]
