Surprisingly, Singapore has lots of Indians but I don't see Indians in Singapore who got this virus. And no report of India being affected either. What gives?

Note the the ones marked Singaporeans can include people of Indian origin. The data only indicates that Indian citizens in Singapore haven't been confirmed with COVID-19.

Also, the clusters identified have more Chinese origin people.

That's mostly because Chinese are a numerical majority, and there also was a major cluster in a mainly Chinese church.
There are Indian citizens who are affected. Local transmission didn't happen as India made prompt effort to cancel chineese visas and health screening in airports who come from affected countries.

Also, quarantine efforts for rescued citizens from Wuhan was efficiently done.

India has reported 5 cases officially out of which 3 people have fully recovered. There were 2 new cases yesterday. A third case is also suspected from a foreign national.
