The family returned from India in 1951 to live at the birthplace of his father, Parmanand Singh, in Yalalevu, Ba. His father was one of the first three Indo-Fijians to be elected to the Legislative Council of Fiji.
A member of the Fiji Labour Party, he was elected to represent the Lautoka Rural Indian Communal Constituency in the House of Representatives, and was appointed Attorney-General in the government of Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry, serving until the government was deposed in the Fiji coup of 2000.

From 2001 to 2006, he served as one of 8 Senators nominated by the Leader of the Opposition.

In November 2019 he was elected president of the Fiji Labour Party.[2][3]
Singh died in Middlemore Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand on 4 December 2020.[4][5]
