One characteristic of this constituency since 1988 is that it has always seen a contest between female candidates, such as one in 2011 and 1991 and another point to note since its inception in 1984 to its absorption into the now defunct Bukit Timah GRC in 1997 and saw its re-appearance in 2011 is that this constituency is always contested by Singapore Democratic Party but to no success.
It was originally from Boon Lay and Bukit Timah constituencies in 1984.
