The venture was mostly funded by Taiwanese friends of his duo to what he terms “a dearth of willing investors and a general disbelief that he would be able to achieve his dream of creating a homegrown multinational firm”. Inderjit left UTAC in 2001. The firm was listed in theSingapore Stock Exchange in 2004. His next firm, Tri-Star, which he started with his brothers was a trading and services firm, in which much of his and his family’s savings were used to fund the company. He received the Strathclyde Alumni Distinguished Entrepreneur Award in 2013. His political life started in 1984 when he became an active grass root leader of the People Action Party. He became a Member of Parliament for the Kebun Bahru ward in the Ang Mo Kio GRC during the 1996 General Elections. He represented this constituency continuously for 18 years and it was only in 2013 that he voluntarily announced to step down and not to fight the election again. He thanked the people for their corporation and told them that they will always be in his heart. They praised him for the excellent work done by him and for his qualities of sincerity and frankness. He will always remain a role model parliamentarian whose fiery speeches in parliament during his 4 terms made him a valuable people representative and one of most well-liked politicians in Singapore in recent times. As a sikh he has helped the community in every possible way. Being a high-profile public figure, he helped expand the presence of the community at the national level, making him a role model for young Sikhs. To recognise and thank him for his contributions, an Appreciation Dinner for him was held by the Sikh community. At the dinner organised by the Young Sikh Association or YSA (Singapore) and supported by the Sikh Sewaks Singapore and Naam Ras Kirtan Darbar, community leaders thanked Mr Inderjit for his leadership, guidance and support for the community since his entry into politics in 1996. Really a great role model for the Sikhs all over the world.
