SINGAPORE: The Workers' Party (WP) on Wednesday (Oct 28) took over the management of Sengkang GRC, following the handover of several estates that were under People's Action Party-run town councils.
Sengkang GRC comprises Buangkok, Compassvale and Rivervale wards, formerly managed by Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council, and Anchorvale ward, formerly under Sengkang West SMC and managed by Ang Mo Kio Town Council.
