The Yio Chu Kang Single Member Constituency was a single-member constituency (SMC) situated in north-eastern Singapore. It was established in 2006 and was merged into Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in 2011. The last Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency was Seng Han Thong from the People's Action Party (PAP).
History In 2006, prior to the 2006 Singaporean general election, Yio Chu Kang SMC was recreated by carving the Yio Chu Kang division out from Ang Mo Kio GRC. PAP's candidate Seng Han Thong contested the SMC with Yip Yew Weng of the Singapore Democratic Alliance and won the election with 68.28 percent of the votes.
In 2011, Seng became embroiled in a racism controversy when he posted comments online regarding the transit crisis in Singapore. He said on Blog TV.SG that "I noticed that the PR mentioned that some of the staff, because they are Malays, they are Indians, they can't converse in English well enough".
In 2011, prior to the 2011 Singaporean general election, Yio Chu Kang SMC was merged into Ang Mo Kio GRC again.
