Seletar Single Member Constituency

Seletar Single Member Constituency was a single-member constituency of the Legislative Council and Legislative Assembly of Singapore between 1951 and 1959. It covered the Seletar area in North-East Region. The constituency's boundaries were redrawn in 1955,[1] with Sembawang constituency created from part of its former area.[2]
