The whole reason Singapore exists as a country is to make money. There isn’t really much of a national identity. Also no free speech, no freedom of religion and really not a democracy.

Singaporeans have a really strong national identity what are you talking about. Every country should be about making money, that's how Singaporeans enjoy some of the highest standards of living on the planet.
