PM from minority race 'a matter of time'
The possibility of Singapore having a non-Chinese prime minister was raised at a dialogue yesterday.
Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam believes it is just a matter of time before the country gets "a minority prime minister - Indian, Malay or Eurasian or some mixture".
"We've got a meritocracy; it is an open system. It is just a matter of time," Mr Tharman said, noting that the common space shared by Singapore's races was growing.
