Singapore is a democracy, claiming otherwise is just an idiotic insult. You see the pattern of the same group holding power for a very long time in some countries, in particular in times of high growth (rather than oscillating between blocks like the US). For example LDP in Japan or the socialdemocrats in Sweden. It really doesn't mean that they are not democratic.
