Член Управляющей народной партии (PAP), он был членом парламента (MP), представляющим Kallang SMC в период с 1976 года. и 1991, и Куо Чуан Уорд Тоа Пей -Грс в период с 1991 по 1996 год.
Дханабалан был выдающимся политическим лидером в Сингапуре в 1980 -х годах, где он занимал пост министра по иностранным делам в период с 1980 по 1988 год, министр национального развития в период с 1987 по 1992 год и министр торговли и промышленности в период с 1992 по 1993 год под руководством премьер -министров Ли Куан Юю и goh chok tong .
He had also served as Leader of the House between 1985 and 1987.
Early life
[edit]Dhanabalan was born in 1937 to Suppiah Arumugam, a clerk at a naval base and Gunaretnam Suppiah. He was the third child and the eldest son in a family of three girls and three boys.
Born in a Singaporean Indian family of Tamil descent, he was raised as a Hindu. Later in his life, he became a devout Christian (Brethren).
Education
[edit]He attended Victoria School before graduating from the University of Malaya with a Bachelor of Arts with second class honours degree in economics.
Early career
[edit]Dhanabalan joined the Ministry of Finance as an administrative officer between 1960 and 1968. During his tenure, he helped to established the Economic Development Board and DBS Bank.
He subsequently left the Civil Service and joined DBS as a vice-president between 1968 and 1970. He was later promoted to the position executive vice-president and continue to serve between 1970 and 1978.[4]
Political career
[edit]In the 1976 Singapore general election, Dhanabalan was elected as Member of Parliament for Kallang SMC, as a People's Action Party (PAP) candidate.
During the 1980 Singaporean general election's rallies, Dhanabalan disparaged opposition politician Chiam See Tong on his professional competence.[5] He was subsequently sued by Chiam for defamation and he issued a public apology over it.[5]
Dhanabalan was subsequently promoted to a Cabinet Minister and served in various portfolios, including Foreign Affairs, Culture, Community Development, National Development and Trade and Industry.[4]
When Lee Kuan Yew was preparing for his successor, he identified a handful of ministers he considered suitable for the job, including Tony Tan, Ong Teng Cheong, Goh Chok Tong and Dhanabalan.
In his public account of why he chose them and what he felt were their strengths and weaknesses, Lee said his preferred successor was Tony Tan, who went on to become the 7th President of the Republic of Singapore. He felt that while the other three were all of prime ministerial calibre, each had a particular weakness: Goh was too stiff, lacking eloquence in public speaking, and Ong was too closely aligned with the Chinese-speaking masses, lacking appeal to other communities. In the case of Dhanabalan, Lee felt the 76% ethnic Chinese electorate was not yet ready for a prime minister of Indian ethnicity. Lee left the ultimate decision to the second generation ministers themselves, who went on to choose Goh.
Dhanabalan retired from Parliament in 1996.[6]
