Singapore already has an (unjustified) superiority complex about Australia, articles like this don't help. I don't mean to diminish what Singapore has accomplished over the last fifty or sixty years - it could have turned out very differently - but the reality is that Singapore's civil society and democracy isn't robust. The human rights issues are a big thing, but even if you write that off, then politically Singapore still has all its eggs in one basket. If the ruling party ceases to be competent, it's difficult to say what will happen: any viable opposition parties are sued into oblivion and there hasn't been a peaceful transfer of power in over 50 years.
