Not to be confused with another defunct ward that is a pre-independence era's ward which existed since 1959 to 1991 and reappeared for once in 2001 called Bukit Timah Single Member Constituency where that ward consist mainly in Bukit Timah areas and parts of Clementi town but not in the Jurong area such as Yuhua etc. .

Bukit Timah Group Representation Constituency (Traditional Chinese: 武吉知馬集選區;Simplified Chinese: 武吉知马集选区) is a defunct five-member Group Representation Constituency located in the western area of Singapore. It consists of largely Bukit Timah areas, and including parts of Jurong and Bukit Batok areas as well. The GRC has only appeared once in 1997 which the ruling party, People's Action Party received a walkover on the nomination day, which is similar to Kreta Ayer-Tanglin GRC's fate.
