Singapore is one of the most diverse countries in Asia and has similar crime rates to Japan.

It depends what you mean by "diverse". You could say Switzerland is diverse, they speak 3 languages there, but there is an essential Swissness that everyone generally agrees on. I believe the same is true of Japan. Maybe the word I actually wanted was somewhere between homogeneous and harmonious.

Over 15% of Singapore's population are non-citizens ("foreign talent"), so whatever they're doing it's not the same as Switzerland

Singapore is over 75% ethnically Chinese. That's still remarkably homogeneous by US standards.
