Meritocracy is the new aristocracy.
Nope, not aristocracy as they do not have noble blood flowing in their veins.
Singapore is just a case of kleptocracy and plutocracy.
...is a form of political and government corruption where the government exists to increase the personal wealth and political power of its officials and the ruling class at the expense of the wider population, often without pretense of honest service.
...have condemned those they characterize as plutocrats for ignoring their social responsibilities to the poor, using their power to serve their own purposes and thereby increasing poverty and nurturing class conflict, and corrupting their societies with greed and hedonism.
