Pasir Ris in the context of Tampines

Tampines (IPA: /ˈtæmpəns, -ɪns/ TAM-pə-nees or TAM-pih-nees) is the regional centre of the East Region of Singapore. With a population of 290,090 living across its five subzones as of 2025, it is the most populous planning area in Singapore. It is home to approximately 5% of Singapore's population. Tampines is bordered to the west by Bedok and Paya Lebar, to the north by Pasir Ris, to the east by Changi, and to the south by the Straits of Singapore. Situated in the historical region of Tanah Merah, its present-day terrain is particularly flat due to large-scale sand quarrying in the 1960s.

Tampines is composed of five subzones — Tampines North, Tampines East, Tampines West, Simei and Xilin. These subzones were created in the early 1990s predominantly for urban planning purposes and have no relation to the three political constituencies in Tampines. All subzones are largely residential with the exception of Xilin, which has a mix of commercial, industrial and recreational facilities. Xilin is home to Singapore Expo, the largest convention center in Singapore, and features the largest agglomeration of golf courses in Singapore.
