Singapore is hardly a dictatorship. It's not a very free democracy, but they run free elections and a significant part of what keeps PAP winning these days is stealing opposition policies.

I don't see a massive distinction between Singaporean elite-driven one party "democracy" and American elite driven two party "democracy". Both fail in certain ways but they function up to a certain point.

Having lived in both, I like saying that Singapore is a fake dictatorship, whereas Hong Kong is a fake democracy.

well if you cant see any difference it probably mean you know very little about the institutions of one or both countries.
