A by-election for the Anson Single Member Constituency in Singapore was held on 31 October 1981 with J.B. Jeyaretnam from the Worker's Party as the winning candidate. This followed by incumbent MP Devan Nair stepping down in order to become President of Singapore. The by-election marked the first occasion since Singapore's independence in which a PAP candidate was defeated in an election for a seat in Parliament. The 37% swing against the PAP is the largest ever swing in a by-election in independent Singapore, and the second largest since 1961.
