You absolutely will not be arrested for holding up signs outside government buildings[1], or questioned by the police for reading a book on the train as a protest[2]. You would not be sued to bankruptcy for making what would be considered political speech in these other countries. Or just about anything on this list https://twitter.com/kixes/status/1174024357443600384?s=21 https://twitter.com/kixes/status/1174024357443600384?s=21.
Singapore is absolutely less democratic - there's no need for scare quotes.
