All singapore goverment structure is equally transparent. It's just an open state, wich is strikingly better to live in than in any of the neighbouring country.
The goverment there really cares about citisens, not in horrible 'Big Brother' way you discribed, but by creating opportunites for industry development and doing there best to attract external investments.
Just imagine that a contry smaller than NYC in the middle of unfrendly muslim contries.. without any resources, even without water. And in the large part due to the government this contry is still independent, has much better life level.
I belive you have never been to Singapore and it's neighbours or wearing your tin foil hat right now..
