The issue of an Indian PM in Singapore is highly controversial but somehow kept under the lid for quite some time. The emergence of an ethnic Indian running for PM in UK has revived this issue and the same questions are being raised again. If racist UK can have an Indian running to be PM and may even become a reality, would this happen to Singapore soon? UK is setting the example for an ethnic minority of Indian origin to be the PM of white UK. Surely it is time for Singapore to have an ethnic Indian as PM. After all there are so many more Indians in the island, so many successful Indians and so many well regarded Indian ministers. Some even think that Tharman is definitely more suitable than anyone else, better than the 4G PM designates.
So, when would Singapore be ready for an Indian PM? Or would it need a Sunak Moment to propel an ethnic Indian as the PM? Should there be such a moment, and leading to a contest, I would say the ethnic Indians would have a higher chance to be elected as the next PM as likely all the Indians would be voting for him, and many Chinese would also be voting for him. Though some racist elements have been agitating the agenda that the majority Chinese are racists, coming to the issue of a PM, there have been many voices that prived otherwise. Many Chinese are rooting for Tharman to be the next PM. How's that for a racist Chinese majority? The contradiction and mischievous allegation that Chinese are racist are glaringly false.
There are several reasons why there would not be a Sunak Moment in Singapore. Firstly, we don't have a Bojo clown Boris in the PM seat. Secondly, we don't have a Sunak to scheme to replace the PM in a Sunak Moment. Thirdly, our Indian ministers somehow did not have the ambition to want to be the PM. So the status quo is likely to be here for a while. Unless Sunak loses his election and decides that Singapore is an easier option and apply to be a resident here. For sure if Sunak comes, a Sunak Moment would be in the card.
In conclusion, as long as we don't have a clown PM, as long as our Indian ministers did not have the ambition to be a PM, there would not be a Sunak Moment here. Oops, a caveat, if Sunak does not become a resident.
