Politics
A member of the executive of the National Federation Party (once a major political party, but without parliamentary representation since 1999), Singh has contested several elections on his party's ticket.
In the 1999 election (in which his party lost all of its seats in the House of Representatives), Singh was a candidate in the Laucala Indian Communal Constituency. He polled 2,510 votes, some 22.2 percent of the total.
In the parliamentary election of 2001, Singh contested the Suva City Indian Communal Constituency. His 1976 votes amounted to just under 21.8 percent of the total - less than half of what Wadan Lal Narsey had achieved in the previous election.
He contested the 2006 parliamentary election as his party's candidate for the Suva City Open Constituency. He polled 745 votes, or 6.2 percent of the total.

“The [nineteenth-century] young men who were Puritans in politics were anti-Puritans in literature. They were willing to die for the independence of Poland or the Manchester Fenians; and they relaxed their tension by voluptuous reading in Swinburne.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Finance is a gun. Politics is knowing when to pull the trigger.”
—Mario Puzo, U.S. author, screenwriter, and Francis Ford Coppola, U.S. director, screenwriter. Michael Corleone (Al Pacino)
