IIRC, Singapore uses an electoral-college like system, where if you win a constituency by even a single vote, you elect all 5 of it's members. When you add gerrymandering into the mix, it's hard to call Singapore a "Democracy"

Singapore doesn't seem interested in pretending to be a democracy. Most Singaporeans I've met describe it as a "meritocracy" or "technocracy," and most people are content enough with the status quo that they don't have much interest in changing it.
