Chua Chu Kang Single Member Constituency.

The Chua Chu Kang Single Member Constituency was a single member constituency (SMC) located in the western region of Singapore. The constituency encompassed Choa Chu Kang New Town. It was one of the longest existing constituencies in Singapore, spanning 52 years from 1959 to 2011.

The ruling People's Action Party (PAP) won the constituency at every election, except in 1963, when it lost the seat to opposition party Barisan Sosialis (BS). In the 1997 general election, the SMC faced a four-cornered fight; Steve Chia from the Singapore Democratic Alliance (SDA) challenged different PAP candidates in straight fights in the 2001 and 2006 general elections. Before the 2011 general election, the SMC and the surrounding Hong Kah Group Representation Constituency (GRC) were replaced with Chua Chu Kang GRC and Hong Kah North SMC.
