Fascist? Really? As far as I can tell Singapore isn't nationalist at all or totalitarian. I'm not sure you could even call them outright authoritarian, fines for large organizations criticizing the government is bad but it's not nearly as bad as arresting individuals for the same.
They're not a dictatorship either. Their political structure does have a working set of checks and balances that does seem to prevent an individual at the top from doing whatever they want. Call them a "paternalistic oligarchy" if you want, but "fascist dictatorship" is way out of line.
