I mean. Sure. But this isn’t exactly Singapore. It’s the epicenter of the largest refugee crisis in the world, totally wrecked by hyperinflation, etc etc

I had another example in mind. Some call Bukele autocrat and dictator but I think he is more the "Philosopher King".
"According to political scientists, El Salvador has experienced democratic backsliding under Bukele as he has dismantled democratic institutions, curtailed political and civil liberties, and attacked independent media and the political opposition.[137][138] Journalists, politicians, and political analysts have described Bukele as an autocrat,[111][93][139] an authoritarian,[140][141][142][143] a strongman,[144][76][88][93] a caudillo,[140][145][146] and a "millennial dictator".[78][147][148] He has ironically referred to himself in his Twitter profile as the "Dictator of El Salvador",[149] "the coolest dictator in the world"[150][151] (although news outlets often render this as the "world's coolest dictator"),[81][99][152] the "Emperor of El Salvador",[153] the "CEO of El Salvador",[154] and the "Philosopher King".[81][155] "
I don't like when ordinary people suffer. I couldn't care less about criminals.
But its not white and black, there are many shades of grey.
If for example Venezuelan people get the Soros type of democracy they will be even worse.
Because the Soros democracy is worse than fascism.
Weaponizing political parties, lawmakers, judiciary systems, media and completely destroying freedom.
