Aljunied MPs Sad to Lose Part of Constituency to Tampines GRC

Aljunied GRC MPs Sylvia Lim and Gerald Giam said they were sad to see three polling districts in their ward move to neighbouring Tampines GRC, part of a slew of changes to the electoral map ahead of Singapore's next general election.

Ms Lim told reporters that the Aljunied MPs, especially Mr Giam, had been actively engaging residents there over the years. The three districts being carved out are under Mr Giam's care as they are currently part of Bedok Reservoir-Punggol division.

Ms Lim, who is the Workers' Party chairwoman, said the town council has also been working hard to solve some of the teething issues in the new Green Gem estate, which include a rat infestation and issues with food waste and debris disposal. "It's a pity that now they will no longer be under our charge and whatever work we have done, we'll have to pass it on," she added.

Mr Giam said residents in the affected areas have messaged him to express their sadness at being moved to another constituency.
