Singapore was never under any communist rule. Most of the Han Chinese were brought by the British for labor purposes. a lot of Chinese were impoverished and countries needed labor to build infrastructure.
as for the neighboring Muslims, they have always been no match for Singapore. Singapore is an economic power house, and their system of semi Dictatorial government has always quashed unruly citizens.
Singapore is probably the most successful modern day authoritarian government. I find it funny that MUH democracy peddlers never acknowledge this fact. the only communist country in Southeast Asia is Vietnam. they are also proud of being communist but for some reason the West is okay with that. LOL.

Thank you.
What is sad is that the guy you responded to who said that incredibly incorrect thing has a bunch of upvotes.

1. I think anyone with half a brain realizes Singapore is authoritarian
2. The Hans have been in authoritarian cintrol for hundreds of years-they're used to it
3. Who TF is ok with Vietnam being Communist (besides liberals)? Unfortnately, this is settled due to detente policy and feckless leftists who didn't want us to win, by any means necessary

A benevolent dictatorship has always been recognized as the most effective and efficient form of government. The problem is that it is entirely dependent upon the competency and benevolence of the ruler. As soon as a bad dictator gets in power, there are no safeguards to prevent that ruler from destroying the economy and/or repressing the people. This results in states which boom and bust.
The guard rails of a constitutional democratic republic tend to restrict action, but also are less prone to bad despotic rulers because of the numerous checks on their power and means of removing leaders from positions of authority. As a result, these governments tend to be more stable and consistent over time.
Singapore was fortunate to have one of the most competent and benevolent dictators in world history as its leader post independence, and subsequent leadership has followed his vision.
