The Marsiling–Yew Tee Group Representation Constituency is a four-member group representation constituency (GRC) in the north and west of Singapore. It has four divisions: Limbang, Marsiling, Woodgrove, and Yew Tee, managed by Marsiling–Yew Tee Town Council. The current Members of Parliament (MPs) for the constituency are Lawrence Wong, Alex Yam, Hany Soh and Zaqy Mohamad from the governing People's Action Party (PAP).

Prior to the 2015 general election, Marsiling–Yew Tee GRC was formed with four MPs from the existing GRCs of Chua Chu Kang and Sembawang. Led by Lawrence Wong, Minister for Culture, Community and Youth and MP for West Coast GRC, and Halimah Yacob, Speaker of Parliament and MP for Jurong GRC, the PAP defeated the Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) with 68.73% of the vote.^[1][2]

On 7 August 2017, Halimah, the MP for the Marsiling division of the GRC, resigned as Speaker, an MP and a member of the PAP in order to contest in the presidential election in the same year.^[3]

The next day, Zaqy Mohamad, incumbent MP for Chua Chu Kang GRC, was appointed as the grassroots advisor^[a] for Halimah's Marsiling division.^[7] Halimah had been the sole minority MP for Marsiling–Yew Tee GRC prior to her resignation.^[8][b] When queried by Pritam Singh, Workers' Party (WP) MP for Aljunied GRC, on said status of Halimah, the government maintained that it was legal to forgo by-elections in GRCs.^[8] Justice Chua Lee Ming of the High Court dismissed a bid by Wong Souk Yee, the assistant treasurer of the SDP, to initiate a by-election.^[10] The bid was dismissed by the Court of Appeal upon appeal.^[11]

During the 2020 general election, Hany Soh, a political newcomer, became a PAP candidate for Marsiling–Yew Tee GRC; she was assigned to the Woodgrove division, replacing retiring incumbent Ong Teng Koon. Zaqy became the PAP candidate for Marsiling, having already served as a grassroots advisor there. The PAP team defeated the SDP with 63.18% of the vote.^[12][2]

In 2024, Wong, the MP for the Limbang division of Marsiling–Yew Tee GRC, became the Prime Minister of Singapore.^[13]

During the 2025 general election, the unchanged PAP team was re-elected with 73.48% of the vote against the SDP, a swing in their favour of over 10% and the best PAP performance in the GRC since its creation.^[2][14][15]

Note : Elections Department Singapore do not include rejected votes for calculation of candidate's vote share. Hence, the total of all candidates' vote share will be 100%.
