PM Lee's son [[Lee Hsien Loong]] (who went on to become the nation's third (and current) Prime Minister) made his debut in the [[Teck Ghee Single Member Constituency|seat of Teck Ghee]], while PAP stalwarts Dr [[Goh Keng Swee]] and [[Ong Pang Boon]] stepped down. In the only election among several preceding and succeeding ones, the election deposit ($1,500) remained unchanged.

Jeyaretnam successfully retained the [[Anson Single Member Constituency|Anson]] constituency with an increased majority, while the [[Singapore Democratic Party]] made its first in-road into Parliament with the victory of [[Chiam See Tong]], who would serve the [[Potong Pasir Single Member Constituency]] for the next 26 years until 2011; this also began a continuing trend whereas three political parties were represented in Parliament (regardless of status as a NCMP or an elected MP) with the exception of 1986-88 (due to the disqualification of sole-WP candidate [[J. B. Jeyaretnam]] in 1986), and 2015-20 (all the nine minimum opposition seats were awarded to a single party of WP, with three being NCMPs). | ||
