What kind of a Chinese is the Singaporean Chinese?

Temasek Review's recent Chinese article,

"新加坡华人是什么样的华人？"

Here is one of the paragraphs:

"首先，中外学者与传媒以讹传讹徒然添知了不少外国人在新加坡认知上的偏差。上世纪的80与90年代，李光耀先后推出儒家思想教育和提倡亚洲价值观，让外界错误的把新加坡渲染为具有儒家特色的华人社会。实质上，前者的政治意图是约束自由主义思潮在新生代中滋长，后者的政治意图则是让一党专政一人政党的政治体制合理化。"

("Firstly, the spreading of word by scholars in and outside China have caused much misunderstanding of Singapore among the foreigners. In the 1980s and 90s, Lee Kuan Yew introduced Confucious thought-inspired education, and after which, promoted Asian values. This has resulted in the rendering of Singapore, by outsiders, as a Chinese society that carries Confucian characteristics. In actual fact, the political motive of the former was to restrict the growth of the wave of liberalist ideology among the newly-sprouted young generation, while that of the latter was to justify the one-party-dictated, one-man-party political system.")
