PAP unveils Chua Chu Kang GRC team, Hong Kah North's Amy Khor to step down
Senior Minister of State Amy Khor, the current MP for Hong Kah North SMC, will also step down.
Senior Minister of State Low Yen Ling, who previously served in Chua Chu Kang GRC, will contest the newly formed Bukit Gombak SMC, which was carved out during the recent electoral boundaries review. She previously represented the Bukit Gombak ward under the GRC.
Chua Chu Kang GRC, which has 93,368 voters, will see boundary changes in GE2025. It now includes parts of Hong Kah North – including Tengah estates – and areas from Holland-Bukit Timah.
These changes follow recommendations by the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee, which cited housing developments in areas like Tengah and Bukit Batok West.
KHOR TO STEP DOWN
Hong Kah North SMC, previously helmed by Dr Khor, has been dissolved. Its remaining districts – including Bukit Batok West – have been folded into the new Jurong East–Bukit Batok GRC.
Dr Khor has decided to step down for “personal reasons”, said Mr Gan, adding that journalists should ask her about her plans moving forward.
“But I think she has contributed to many years of service to building and bonding the community in Hong Kah North and she has done a fantastic job,” he added, expressing his appreciation for her contributions.
Dr Khor entered politics as part of PAP's team in Hong Kah GRC in the 2001 General Election. In the 2011 election, Hong Kah North was carved out as an SMC, where Dr Khor contested and won.
She is currently the Senior Minister of State for Transport, and for Sustainability and the Environment.
In the 2020 General Election, PAP’s team for Chua Chu Kang GRC won 58.64 percent of the vote against a team fielded by the Progress Singapore Party.
