History
Bukit Panjang had overgrown since 1984 and had started their life in 1976.
By the time Bukit Panjang New Town grows, it had grown until it had exceeded number of voters in 1991 general election (and it compromises Woodlands New Town), it had split up in 1997 (into Marsiling constituency) and now it left only the Bukit Panjang, until it divides into Bukit Panjang, Cashew and Zhenghua constituencies in 2001.
Elections in 1950s
Note 2: MIC is allied with Singapore's UMNO and MCA chapters, similar to its Malaysian counterpart with the exception of not using the alliance symbol which was the reason for the elections department of Singapore to view T. T. K. Alexander as an independent candidate.
