"Can we one day have a non-Chinese, a Malay-Muslim Prime Minister? It's possible....34-year-old Member of Parliament Zaqy Mohamad was more optimistic..."I agree with PM that a candidate for prime minister has to be based on ability and acceptance by the majority of Singaporeans. I think today with the younger generation who've gone through post-independence Singapore, I think they are a lot more accepting and race-blind.... if someone comes forth with the right ability and proven track record, it could be a reality."

It's very contradicting. First they say Malays can't even win MP seats on their own, that's why we need GRCs. Now they say, a Malay can be a prime minister. If so, isn't the GRC system redundant and regressive?
