Moulmein-Kallang Group Representation Constituency

Moulmein-Kallang Group Representation Constituency (Chinese: 摩棉-加冷集选区) is a defunct four-member Group Representation Constituency, and therefore an electoral district composed of several city suburbs surrounding the Central Area of Singapore. It existed from 2011 to 2015.

The GRC was formed in 2011 general election,since it was just a change in name, it absorbed most parts of the Jalan Besar GRC and the Moulmein ward of Tanjong Pagar GRC. The GRC was broken up in 2015 General Election, reverting to the original wards before 2011.

Moulmein-Kallang GRC was co-led by Minister of Communications and Information Yaacob Ibrahim who is also Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs, and led by Minister of Transport Lui Tuck Yew.

The ward saw a contest in the 2011 general election between the incumbent People's Action Party and a rookie team from the Workers' Party of Singapore. The National Solidarity Party had expressed interest in contesting the constituency, but dropped out to avoid a three-cornered fight. The PAP emerged victor with 44,828 votes or 58.56% of the total ballot for the electoral division. Incidentally, this was the highest vote percentage for the PAP in a Workers' Party contested constituency.
