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, Telok Blangah, 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, Rachel Ong and Foo Cexiang 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).

In 1997, the GRC absorbed parts of Brickworks GRC.[1]

Since the formation of the GRC, the ward was notable for its repeated walkovers with the last walkover in 2015. In addition in 2011, Tanjong Pagar GRC became the only constituency to be uncontested following the disqualification of a team of independent candidates (led by Ng Teck Siong) as they submitted their nomination papers late.[2]

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.[3][4] In the election of the same year, the PAP won with 81% of the vote.[5]
