There has been a class divide in Singapore from the second that PAP took power in 1959.
The divide is between the british privileged elites like peranakans, eurasians and the non privilege like chinese, malays and indians.
That English is a `neutral' language is, of course, an ideological illusion. Since
Singapore was a British colony for 150 years, English was already a common language
among the privileged local population who worked for the colonial administration
and whose children had access to the limited opportunities of learning the language.
This included the first generation of political leaders who, as English speakers, had
access to British university education immediately after the second world war. The
ideological promotion of English as a `neutral' language to all ethnic Asian children
has suppressed this class dimension. The political utility of this illusory `neutrality' is
that it enables the state to articulate, in English, its own interests distinctly, apart from
the interests of all racial groups. It also effects a separation of state/national interests
from those of the racial majority, and prevents state/national interests from being
captured by the racial majority.
The position of monolingual Chinese speakers
illustrates this.

Tang found himself not merely participating in politics, but running for election. His reasons for this decision were very much based on his concerns over what was happening to the Chinese community and other minority communities, in Singapore.
Non-English speaking Singaporeans, including Chinese, Malays and Indians have, he says, been discriminated against unnecessarily under the PAP policies, particularly, for example the Chinese-educated, the Buddhists, the Taoists, the Hindus and the Muslims.
The discrimination, he says, takes various forms: Nanyang University was restructured; there is no Chinese-language business paper; there is discrimination in the intake of university students, in the engagement of university lecturers and school teachers, in the manning of positions in the army and police forces, and an absence of representation of the non-English-speaking Singaporeans in the decision-making process and in many top government posts. These are just a few examples.
"It is obvious that Lee and his family have already amassed vast amount of wealth. But nobody dared to speak up.
They are very powerful in Singapore. To maintain their high positions and wealth, they must have a monopoly of power. LKY has his relatives and cronies in the army, in the police force and everywhere. They have their fingers everywhere.

Endangered species?
For goodness sake, Lee Kuan Yew practically filled the entire cabinet with inbred Peranakans.
For the last few decades in Singapore, the top positions in civil service, statutory boards, armed forces, GLCs have all along been going disproportionately to the Peranakans.
That is one reason why Singapore has been run to the ground.
Lee Kuan Yew worked with the Japanese Kempeitai and later the British colonizers to suppress the non-Peranakan Chinese.
That's why he has always been wary of non-Peranakan Chinese and could only entrust power to his own family members and his other Peranakan cronies.

Singapore is also quite homogeneous, 75% chinese. China and Japan resistance to social tensions I think is actually bullshit.

maybe lee kuan yew was a great cook for the japs and brits apart from his daily work routine.
