In 2007, Singh founded Opinion Asia, an online commentary syndicate with a focus on Asian issues. Prior to that, he served in the SAF as a regular Army Officer till 2002.
At the 2011 general election, Singh was part of the five-member Worker's Party team which contested the Aljunied Group Representation Constituency (GRC) under the WP banner. The team also included the party's Secretary-General, Low Thia Khiang, along with Sylvia Lim (the party's Chairman), Chen Show Mao and Muhamad Faisal bin Abdul Manap. They faced the team from the governing People's Action Party (PAP), which was led by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, George Yeo, and also included Lim Hwee Hua, Cynthia Phua and Zainul Abidin Bin Mohamed Rasheed. It also included newcomer Ong Ye Kung, a former civil servant who now serves as an MP in Sembawang GRC. The Workers' Party's team defeated the PAP team by 72,289 votes (54.7%) to 59,829 (45.2%), marking the first occasion in Singapore's history in which an opposition party had won an election in a GRC.
