If you want to know what Singaporean nationalism looks like, this is the PAP’s Tan Wu Meng MP attacking critical playwright Alfian Sa'at and trying to associate him with opposition leader Pritam Singh MP. https://www.pap.org.sg/news/opinion-news/mr-pritam-singh-supports-alfian-saat/
Given S'pore’s history with M'sia, associating the Indian opposition leader with someone cast as a disloyal Malay who supports Malaysia’s bumiputra policies is supposed to scare the Chinese community into fearing Worker’s Party would bring preferential policies for minorities.

Alfian Sa’at responds as well: https://www.facebook.com/649992370/posts/10157572377222371/?d=n
The opposition Workers’ Party referenced the uproar in a tongue-in-cheek bonus question on its Telegram channel.

Lots of discussion on Singapore’s meritocracy followed: ‘The problem with Tan Wu Meng isn’t that he doesn’t write very well, or that he seems a bit lacking in the reading/comprehension department. It’s the fact that he comes across as so very entitled.’ https://www.facebook.com/lynnl/posts/10157163074087554
