The new four-member GRC includes polling districts that belonged to Pasir Ris-Punggol, and also absorbs Punggol East SMC, currently helmed by MP Charles Chong. Sengkang GRC covers Rivervale, Compassvale and Anchorvale.“Whoever the opposition team may be, we will do our best and let Singaporeans decide based on our track record of service to our fellow citizens,” Dr Lam told CNA, in response to queries.
The candidates will be decided by the People’s Action Party and will be made known at an appropriate time, he said.“Having served in an SMC for almost a decade, I would have to adjust to being part of a GRC and work as a team with the other candidates,” he said. Sengkang West SMC has 47,891 electors, far higher than the ceiling of 38,000 electors set by the EBRC for an SMC. The new Sengkang GRC will have 117,546 electors.The constituency is also part of the larger town-wide development of Sengkang which includes the precincts of Rivervale, Compassvale, Anchorvale and Fernvale, Dr Lam said.
