Anyone's guess who PAP will field in new Queenstown SMC, says MP

Queenstown residents will continue to be served even as the constituency is carved out from Tanjong Pagar GRC into a single seat.

Speaking on March 15 on the sidelines of a community event in Mei Ling Street, Tanjong Pagar GRC MP Eric Chua, who oversees the Queenstown ward, said: "For the remaining runway, we're still here.

"Don't worry. There is continuity moving from GRC to SMC. Whoever is going to be here as part of the PAP team will be serving the residents."

With the reshaping of boundaries after the release of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) report on March 11, Queenstown will be a single-member constituency for the next general election, which must take place by Nov 23, 2025.

"Who will eventually take part in elections in Queenstown is anybody's guess for now," said Mr Chua, who is Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Culture, Community and Youth and Social and Family Development.

"I will be happy and honoured to continue the work that we've been doing the past five years," he said, adding that this includes his focus on mental health, low-income families and seniors.

"These are needs within the community, and I think these are what I will continue probably focusing on and also expanding more upon," he said.
