It presents the older living patterns of Singapore; it is a quieter and much denser estate, often offering a reasonable and larger alternative to other housing options, and houses a large number of elderly and heavy-duty industries. ==History== In the late 1990s, a plan was introduced by the [[Government of Singapore]] to upgrade existing [[Housing and Development Board]] apartment blocks by providing refurbished elevators serving every storey of each block, an additional room at the rear of each flat, and other modernising features. This led to a surge in housing prices. The community of foreigners living in Marsiling has also been increasing. == Politics == By 2015, Marsiling was merged with [[Yew Tee]] in an ongoing review of electoral boundaries that also saw Marsiling-Yew Tee Town Council being formed.<ref>{{cite news|title=16 town councils formed, including 2 new town councils|url=http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/16-town-councils-formed/2162586.html|access-date=26 November 2015|publisher=MediaCorp Pte Ltd}}</ref> In 2017, [[Halimah Yacob]] resigned from the Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC (Marsiling division) to contest for the Presidency. Halimah Yacob was sworn in as the 8th President of Singapore from 13 September 2017. Since the [[2020 Singaporean general election]], former [[Chua Chu Kang GRC]] MP and Minister of State [[Zaqy Mohamad]] represented Marsiling, having earlier temporarily filling the vacated seat from 2017 to 2020. ==References== {{reflist|}} {{Commons category|Marsiling}} {{Places in Singapore}} {{Public housing in Singapore}} [[Category:Places in Singapore]] [[Category:Woodlands, Singapore]] {{Singapore-geo-stub}}
