Born and raised
in Hong Kong, Sukhdeep Singh grew up surrounded by Cantonese speakers, including his own
father, a civil servant. But he only realized the importance of speaking the
language when he enrolled in medical school.Patients look at him strangely, and
that’s normal. But whenever he speak to them in their own dialect, their faces
light up.
Though, Sukhdeep Singh faced various difficulties in the beginning, but he kept himself determined and now he is on the verge of creating history.
“Patients might
develop a different perspective on people with turbans in Hong Kong when they
see me, a turbaned doctor, and, hopefully, start to view other ethnic
minorities differently,” Sukhdeep Singh, who is one of about 12,000 Sikhs in
Hong Kong.
Sukhdeep Singh is also working on a mission to empower ethnic minority youth in Hong Kong. For this, he has set up a non-profit organization,Pargaas along with other young professionals. He wants to change the perspective of majority towards the minorities.
