Southern Islands Single Member Constituency

Southern Islands Single Member Constituency was a constituency in Singapore. It used to exist from 1955 to 1968. In lieu of reducing population, it was divided into mainly mainland wards in Jurong, Pasir Panjang and Telok Blangah. It includes the Sentosa, Pulau Brani, Kusu Island and St John's Island. The Southern Islands constituency had a very low electorate numbering 4,273 electors. It will likely to dwindle when more people shifted to the city and Kampong Ubi in 1968.
