JurongJurong is a constituency and town of Singapore, located at the Western part of the Singapore mainland. History In 1963, the then Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, made Jurong the initial constituency on his first visit to constituencies in the Republic. At the time, Jurong was without a citizen's consultative committee. However, this fact did not deter them. Instead, they responded through its community leaders. Jurong then was being developed into a industrial town, streching towards Tuas, a reclaimed land near to Jurong, its construction under the authority of the Jurong Town Corporation. It was chosen because it was relatively far from Singapore's Central Business District and residential areas. Today, Jurong is mainly an area for industry, especially high technology industry and some heavy industry, although much of the more polluting industry is situated at its counterpart, Jurong Island, even farther from the residential areas. This is also due to the fact that some parts of Jurong also has residential HDB estate on its eastern portion.
