History

Formed during the 2001 general election as a five-member GRC, it has been held by the People's Action Party ever since. With the growth in population of Punggol New Town and Sengkang New Town, the GRC grew from a five-member GRC to a six-member GRC prior to the 2006 elections. In 2011, Punggol East was carved out as a SMC while the Punggol West division was formed, and in 2015, parts of Buangkok and Hougang were split off into Ang Mo Kio GRC, while the northern portions of Punggol were formed to create the division of Punggol Coast, retaining its six seats.
Its first contest happened in 2006 with the opponent being Singapore Democratic Alliance. For the 2011 general election, the incumbent People's Action Party announced that their team would be led by Teo Chee Hean, and include then-Senior Parliamentary Secretary Teo Ser Luck, Penny Low, as well as new candidates Janil Puthucheary, Gan Thiam Poh and Zainal Sapari. In the 2015 general election, Penny Low retired from politics and new candidates Ng Chee Meng and Sun Xueling joined the team.
In the 2020 General Election, the GRC was reduced to five members, with the newly formed Punggol West SMC carved out from the boundaries of Pasir-Ris Punggol GRC and the Sengkang Central ward being carved out to become part of the brand new Sengkang GRC, the Tampines retail park was also redrawn into Tampines GRC.
