Any perceived "societal progress" comes at a (heavy) cost of personal liberties; the Singapore government have always "preferred" the former. > it's also legit democracy If your interpretation of a democracy boils down to mere voting rights and choice, then sure, it's legit. But I think we should also consider the trickle-down effects of having the same party in power ever since the government was formed. Your ethics, beliefs, judgment, and mentality determines how you vote - it's not that hard to sway the majority to your side if you are always in total control of how lives are shaped across generations.
