be fair though. Most Singaporeans are ethnically Chinese, and it’s not hard to imagine information sharing /cooperation with the CCP from Singaporean businesses or nationals.
I was there for a week last summer. It felt like it was more like a third that was of Chinese decent with Indian and Malaysian making up 1/3 each. English is the common language and everything there is done in English. Most of the people I met lived in govt provided housing. Everything is govt run for the most part.
It’s a beautiful place that is well maintained and very clean. Sort of expensive and super hot and humid.

It’s not at all government housing in the sense we do it.
They are subsidized, and workers are forced to save money to buy them.
Because they are still expensive and they own them, they don’t treat them like government programs. They treat them like they own them, and they get to participate in their appreciation in value.
It’s a very, very good system, especially in a stupidly expensive place.
