  In a recent paper we showed that the Minimal R-symmetric Supersymmetric
Standard Model (MRSSM) can accommodate the observed 125 GeV Higgs boson as the
lightest scalar of the model in agreement with electroweak precision
observables, in particular with the W boson mass and $T$ parameter. Here we
explore a scenario with the light singlet (and bino-singlino) state in which
the second-lightest scalar takes the role of the SM-like boson with mass close
to 125 GeV. In such a case the second-lightest Higgs state gets pushed up via
mixing already at tree-level and thereby reducing the required loop correction.
Unlike in the NMSSM, the light singlet is necessarily connected with a light
neutralino which naturally appears as a promising dark matter candidate. We
show that dark matter and LHC searches place further bounds on this scenario
and point out parameter regions, which are viable and of interest for LHC Run
II and upcoming dark matter experiments.
