History

[edit | edit source]

Prior to the 2025 general election, Queenstown SMC was carved out of Tanjong Pagar GRC, which it had belonged to as a division.[1][2]

The PAP fielded Eric Chua, the incumbent MP for the Queenstown division of Tanjong Pagar GRC, to stand for reelection in the SMC.[2] He defeated Mahaboob Batcha from the People's Alliance for Reform (PAR) with 81.13% of the vote, the largest PAP vote share in a constituency in the general election.[3][4]
