You were cunning grabbing power in the 50s and 60s.
You were lucky building up the economy in the 70s and 80s.
But your luck ran out as you ran out of ideas. You had the opportunity to implement a robust system of governance to truly resist and outlast any rogue regime/govt but you did not heed history. Humanity cannot be supressed, be it Chinese, Indian, Malay, european.
You took the wrong bet. Instead of trusting the good nature of your own citizens, you played them out, flooding the country with immigrants. Forcing hardship and suffering to the very people who put their trust in you. You played them out, all in the name of a patriarcal system where you 'think' you are making the best decision on their behalf. Only idiots think they can know what is best for someone else.
Now the system you built is falling apart. Bereft of ideas, you are throwing your own principles to the wind. So the Casino is coming. But justifying it as a pragmatic move just shows that you would sell anything. Anything! I wonder what else you would sell?
You bask in the sunlight when the media in your grip calls your family amazing(?). The sky has now fallen. The system is broken. It is likely that you will see your Singapore model decline before you breathe your last.
The best genes are defective. The incredible family is really not talented.
Admit it. You're just lucky.
