Shanmugam said it is inaccurate to say an Indian or a Malay cannot be a Prime Minister in Singapore. READ:

SINGAPORE — It is “entirely possible” for a Malay or an Indian person to become Prime Minister in Singapore, said Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam in an interview with BBC.

In response, Shanmugam excluded himself in his reply and said, “A good candidate, in my view, a Malay or Indian candidate, can bridge it as long as the MPs have the confidence that he can lead them into the General Elections and win the elections. I think it's entirely possible, so I would not rule it out.”

“So, if a Malay or an Indian, starts with, if I remember my numbers right, about a 20 per cent gap. But it's not unbridgeable.”
