No, it's because Singapore is an ethnostate by Western standards:

Pretty much this.It is a bit misleading.
Singapore is a multicultural society. That "Chinese" group was very diverse people from a huge number of regions that did not even speak the same language or even eat the same food (other than rice). The country is also one of the most religiously diverse countries on the planet.
How did Lee Kuan Yew make this work? He made them to become one Singaporean culture. He forced all of the Chinese subgroups, Malay, and Indians to speak English in public life. No tax funded translators - learn English to function here. He enforced a meritocratic colorblind society on the country by refusing any DEI-like programs that would appear unfair. He funded massive public housing projects and used them break ethnic enclaves with race quotas in buildings. He forced people to live together and created public spaces that would be used by everybody. His government passed a law banning foreigners from stirring up religious and cultural division in their country. He forced everybody to dedicate a percentage of their earnings to ownership in state companies and stocks so that they would have ownership of their country and benefit from its success.
He did everything Canada will never do to make multiculturalism work.
