Radin Mas Single Member Constituency
Electoral division in Singapore (2011–)
The Radin Mas Single Member Constituency is a single-member constituency (SMC) situated in central Singapore. It is managed by Tanjong Pagar Town Council (TPTC). The current Member of Parliament (MP) for the constituency is Melvin Yong from the People's Action Party (PAP).
History
Radin Mas SMC was created prior to the 2011 general election from Tanjong Pagar Group Representation Constituency (GRC), which it had previously belonged to as a division. Sam Tan, the incumbent PAP MP for the division, stood for reelection, defeating Yip Yew Weng from the National Solidarity Party (NSP) with 67.1% of the vote.
In the 2015 general election, blogger Han Hui Hui ran as an independent candidate for the constituency. She won 10.03% of the vote, losing her election deposit of S$14,500 in the process for not winning at least 12.5% of the vote. Tan, on the other hand, retained the SMC with an improved 77.25% of the vote in a three-cornered fight.
Prior to the 2020 general election, Tan retired from politics. Melvin Yong, the incumbent MP for the Moulmein–Cairnhill division of Tanjong Pagar GRC, was fielded by the PAP to retain the SMC; he garnered 74.01% of the vote, defeating Kumar Appavoo, candidate for the Reform Party (RP), who had been contesting the SMC since 2015.

Why this record matters
“Radin Mas Single Member Constituency” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Radin, Single and Member provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q7280548. Authority coordinates are 1.264, 103.817. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2015 and 2020.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
