- Not to be confused with the defunct pre-independence era ward called Tampines Single Member Constituency that existed from 1959 to 1988. This article is describing a present ward in Tampines.
Tampines Group Representation Constituency (Chinese: 淡滨尼集选区; Malay: Kawasan Undi Perwakilan Berkumpulan Tampines; Tamil: தெம்பனிஸ் குழுத்தொகுதி) is a five-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the eastern region of Singapore. The GRC encompasses Tampines with five sub-constituencies, namely Tampines East, Tampines West, Tampines Central, Tampines North and Tampines Changkat. The electoral boundaries remained unchanged between the 2001 elections until early 2020 when its boundaries were redrawn to include Tampines retail park from the neighbouring Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC. The GRC has faced a contest in every general election except 1997, in which the National Solidarity Party was disqualified. In the 2001 and 2006 general elections, the PAP's opponent was the Singapore Democratic Alliance (due to a merger with National Solidarity Party until 2007).
Tampines GRC is led by the Deputy Prime and Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat and Environment and Water Resources Minister (and Minister in-charge of Muslim Affairs) Masagos Zulkifli. Previously, ex-Minister for National Development Mah Bow Tan was the anchor minister until he stepped down from the cabinet following the 2011 general elections, retiring from politics in 2015. On May 2016, Heng Swee Keat was incapacitated due to a stroke. His condition was reported to be stable but he remained in the hospital's intensive care unit until 25 June 2016. His fellow MPs assisted to oversee his Tampines Central ward with the former MP Sin Boon Ann returning to help until his discharge.
Following the release of the EBRC redrawing exercise report, the constituency will be expanded to include the Tampines Wafer Fab Park and the entire Tampines North Industrial Estate (including Giant Hypermarket and IKEA Tampines).
