  Inspired by the fact that relatively small values of the effective higgsino
mass parameter of the $Z_3$-symmetric Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard
Model (NMSSM) could render the scenario `natural', we explore the plausibility
of having relatively light neutralinos and charginos (the electroweakinos or
the ewinos) in such a scenario with a rather light singlino-like Lightest
Supersymmetric Particle (LSP), which is a Dark Matter (DM) candidate, and
singlet-dominated scalar excitations. By first confirming the indications in
the existing literature that finding simultaneous compliance with results from
the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and those from various DM experiments with such
light states is, in general, a difficult ask, we proceed to demonstrate, with
the help of a few representative benchmark points, how exactly and to what
extent could such a highly motivated `natural' setup with a singlino-like DM
candidate still remains plausible.
