The Kebun Baru Single Member Constituency is a Single Member Constituency in Ang Mo Kio, Singapore. The current MP is Henry Kwek.
History[]
The original Kebun Baru SMC was carved from the now-defunct Ang Mo Kio Single Member Constituency in 1980. It was helmed by Lim Boon Heng throughout its short-lived 11-year existence. It was absorbed into the new Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency (GRC) prior to the 1991 general election. In 2015, it was carved out from Ang Mo Kio GRC and redrawn into Nee Soon GRC.[1]
Following the release of the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee's report on 13 March 2020, it was announced that a new SMC, Kebun Baru SMC, would be formed, in preparation for the 2020 general election. However, it would be carved out from Nee Soon GRC. After a hiatus of 29 years, it was re-introduced for the 2020 general election.[2]
In the 2020 general election, People's Action Party's Henry Kwek defeated Progress Singapore Party's Kumaran Pillai with a vote count of 62.97% vs 37.03%, which made Kwek the MP for Kebun Baru.
Town Council[]
Kebun Baru SMC is managed by Ang Mo Kio Town Council which also manages Yio Chu Kang SMC and Ang Mo Kio GRC.
