Nee Soon East Single Member Constituency

Nee Soon East Single Member Constituency (Traditional Chinese: 義順東單選區; Simplified Chinese: 义顺东单选区) is a defunct Single Member Constituency in the northern area in Singapore. The ward consists of Yishun's Neighbourhoods 2, 3 and 4. The SMC was the largest in the nation with over 32,000 voters. Formed in 2001 after being carved out from Sembawang Group Representation Constituency, its Member of Parliament was People's Action Party's Ho Peng Kee. It disappeared in 2011 when Nee Soon Central, Nee Soon East, Nee Soon South, Chong Pang and Canberra merged into a newly formed Nee Soon GRC. This SMC and Née Soon Central SMC were formerly under the Sembawang-Née Soon Town Council, which comprises Sembawang GRC (which has six members with this SMC) and Née Soon Central SMC from 2001 until 2011.

Not to be confused with the currently existing Nee Soon GRC, or the defunct Nee Soon SMC, Nee Soon Central SMC or Nee Soon South SMC.
