Hougang Single Member Constituency
- Hougang Single Member Constituency
Hougang Single Member Constituency (Hougang SMC) (Traditional Chinese: 後港單選區;Simplified Chinese: 后港单选区) is a Single Member Constituency whose borders roughly enclose the town of Hougang, located in the north-eastern area of Singapore. The boundary includes a portion of Hougang and is an opposition held seat with its Member of Parliament the Workers' Party's Low Thia Khiang. The constituency was formed in 1988 and was held by the People's Action Party (PAP) until the 1991 general election, when the ruling party lost the seat to the Workers' Party. The seat is one of the two opposition seats of the Parliament of Singapore in the country. Despite Singapore's current dominant-party system, Hougang SMC has been difficult to recapture by the PAP since losing the constituency in 1991.
