1984 Singaporean general election

General elections were held in Singapore on 22 December 1984. President Devan Nair dissolved parliament on 4 December 1984 on the advice of Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. The result was a victory for the People's Action Party, which won 77 of the 79 seats, marking the first time since 1963 that at least one opposition candidate was elected to parliament in a general election, although the first presence of an opposition MP was in the 1981 Anson by-election. It also marked the first presence of women candidates since 1970 following the elections of three female candidates Yu-Foo Yee Shoon, Dixie Tan and Aline Wong, who make their debuts this election.
