Singapore is pretty authoritarian but to call it a police state goes way too far. The comparison with the CCP is also honestly ridiculous. A more accurate parallel would be with Japan, with the almost unbroken run of LDP governments since the US occupation in terms of one party rule, but with a real and effective opposition. You could also look at other cities, albeit ones that are parts of, rather than constitutive of states, like San Francisco, which has been ruled by Democrats for longer than Singapore has been independent.
