The Punggol West Single Member Constituency was a Single Member Constituency (SMC) located in the north-eastern area of Singapore. At abolition, it was managed by Pasir Ris–Punggol Town Council.[1]
History
Leading up to the 2020 general election, Punggol West SMC was carved out of Pasir Ris–Punggol Group Representation Constituency (GRC). It had previously been a division in said GRC.[2] At said election, Tan Chen Chen from the Workers' Party (WP) contested the SMC against Sun Xueling, the former Member of Parliament (MP) for the GRC division.[3] Sun won with around 61% of the vote.[4]
For the 2025 general election, the SMC was absorbed into Punggol GRC after one term as its own constituency.[5]
