Holland-Bukit Panjang Group Representation Constituency

The Holland-Bukit Panjang Group Representation Constituency (Traditional Chinese: 荷蘭-武吉班讓集選區;Simplified Chinese: 荷兰-武吉班让集选区) was a five-member Group Representation Constituency in Singapore which only appeared in the 2001 elections. Prior to that, parts of the Cashew and Zhenghua were originally Bukit Panjang division of the Sembawang GRC and several parts of Bukit Timah (Eng Neo) were originally Tanglin division of the Kreta Ayer-Tanglin GRC. Buona Vista came from Tanjong Pagar GRC and Ulu Pandan came from Bukit Timah GRC.

Every division was absorbed into Holland-Bukit Timah GRC in 2006, except the Bukit Panjang division which was carved out as an SMC.
