TheNee Soon Group Representation Constituency is a five-memberGroup Representation Constituency (GRC) in thenorth region ofSingapore. The GRC was established in 2011. The GRC includes most ofYishun town, the private residential areas along Sembawang Road and Upper Thomson Road, the southern part ofSembawang and the Nee Soon Camp. The GRC consists of five divisions: Chong Pang, Nee Soon Central, Nee Soon East, Nee Soon South and Nee Soon Link managed by Nee Soon Town Council. The current MPs areK. Shanmugam,Goh Hanyan,Jackson Lam,Lee Hui Ying andSyed Harun Alhabsyi from thePeople's Action Party (PAP).
In the2011 general elections, Nee Soon GRC was created by merging parts ofAng Mo Kio GRC's Nee Soon South,Sembawang GRC's Canberra and Chong Pang andNee Soon Central andNee Soon East SMCs.[1]
The ward saw a contest between the incumbentPeople's Action Party led by anchor ministerK. Shanmugam against theWorkers' Party team led by Poh Lee Guan. The PAP eventually won with 58.40% of the total ballots for the electoral division.[2] In the2015 general elections the Canberra division and portions of Chong Pang, Nee Soon East and Nee Soon South divisions from Nee Soon GRC (forming Gambas division) were moved back to Sembawang GRC while Kebun Baru division of Ang Mo Kio GRC was moved here instead. The PAP once again faced off a challenge from the Workers' Party team winning an improved 66.83% of the vote.[3] Prior to the2020 general elections, the Kebun Baru division was carved out as an SMC due to the rising population of the GRC.[4]Lee Bee Wah retired from politics and was replaced byCarrie Tan.[5][6] While the Workers' Party did not contest in Nee Soon GRC, theProgress Singapore Party contested here instead. The PAP managed to retain the GRC with 61.90% of the vote against the PSP's 38.10%.[7][8]
Prior to the2025 general election, Shanmugam announced that he will be leading a new team for the GRC with four new members, formerNominated MP Syed Harun Alhabsyi, Jackson Lam (former PAPHougang branch chairman),[9] Lee Hui Ying and Goh Hanyan.[10] Former incumbent MPs Louis Ng, Carrie Tan and Derrick Goh announced their retirement from politics,[11] whileMuhammad Faishal Ibrahim moved toMarine Parade-Braddell Heights GRC.[12][13][14][15]
