Bukit Batok Single Member Constituency was a single-member constituency (SMC) in western Singapore. At abolition, it was managed by Jurong–Clementi Town Council. The last Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency was Murali Pillai from the People's Action Party (PAP).
History Bukit Batok SMC had previously existed as Bukit Batok Constituency from 1972 to 1988, before being renamed Bukit Batok SMC from 1988 to 1997. In 1997, it was merged into Jurong GRC prior to the 1997 Singaporean general election. From 1997 to 2015, Bukit Batok SMC did not exist.
Bukit Batok SMC was reformed prior to the 2015 Singaporean general election. David Ong from the governing People's Action Party (PAP) won the contest for the recreated seat with 73.02 per cent of the votes.
In 2016, Ong resigned after having an extramarital affair with 41 year-old Wendy Lim, who is also a member and grassroots volunteer of the People's Action Party; a by-election was called to replace the empty seat. On 7 May, Murali Pillai from the PAP defeated Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) secretary-genera, Chee Soon Juan with a vote count of 61.2% to 38.8%.
During the 2020 Singaporean general election, Chee contested the seat again against incumbent MP Pillai. Pillai won the contest again with a reduced vote share of 54.80 per cent, a drop of 6.43 per cent.
On 11 March 2025, the Elections Department Singapore updated the electoral divisions for the 2025 general election. Bukit Batok SMC was merged into Jurong East–Bukit Batok GRC.
