SINGAPORE: A new poll from YouGov has shown that Singaporeans are now ready for the country to have an ethnic minority Prime Minister. The data from the survey was made public shortly after the historic win of President-elect Tharman Shanmugaratnam on Sept 1.
Meanwhile, 15 per cent of the respondents said that the country is not ready to have a qualified, ethnic minority Prime Minister, but one day, it will be. However, 22 per cent said they are either unsure or that Singapore will never be ready to have a qualified, ethnic minority Prime Minister. Among the youngest respondents, Gen Z, 76 per cent said they’re ready for an ethnic minority Prime Minister, while 73 per cent of Millennials had the same response.
