The Tampines Group Representation Constituency is a five-member Group Representation Constituency (GRC) in the eastern region of Singapore. The GRC encompasses Tampines with five divisions: Tampines East, Tampines West, Tampines Central, Tampines North and Tampines Changkat managed by Tampines Town Council. The current members of Parliament are Baey Yam Keng, Masagos Zulkifli, Koh Poh Koon and Desmond Choo from the People's Action Party (PAP) after the resignation of Cheng Li Hui.

History

On 17 July 2023, it was revealed by Lee Hsien Loong that Cheng, who was not married, had an extramarital affair with fellow MP and Speaker of Parliament Tan Chuan-Jin since at least November 2020, which prompted their resignations from Parliament and the PAP on the same day.
