Yeah, but have you considered that he is asian, and thus probably a secret communist?

His name is suspiciously oriental, and he is the CEO of the evil Chinese app

Tom Cotton is definitely that guy that asks “No but really, where are you actually from?”

Singapore is a neo liberal hellhole, but they have social housing and medicine which makes them literally Stalin.

It’s a place of bizarre contradiction; economically they’re super neoliberal and socially restrictive. But they’ve also got steep taxes, the social housing and medicine you mentioned, and technically the state is considered the owner of all the private property; businesses are more or less leasing the capital from the state. So on paper it’s highly statist capitalism, but practically if one considers Yew’s family’s long control of the state, it’s almost like the city is a private fiefdom.
