The official result can be obtained through
Official results and electoral divisions in 1991 General Elections of Singapore.

One interesting point to note is in this GE, the number of Opposition Party's candidate had increased from 1 to 4 where 3 of them are from Singapore Democratic Party

 and 1 of them in Workers Party of Singapore. All of them represents a Single Member Constituency. It is one of the highest number of opposition party members by far in the GE held in Singapore since 1959 GEs despite no Opposition Candidates had won a Group Representative Constituency(GRC).

With the system of GRC, the divisions has drastically reduced (Up to 3 / 4 seats counted as 1 division in GRC), despite actual division is 81.
