Political commentator Sudhir Vadaketh said Mr Lee's government was "completely unprepared to accommodate the high immigration they deemed necessary for their push to become a global city".

By "failing to get a buy-in" from Singaporeans, they seeded "a very bad form of racism and bigotry" that persists to this day, said Mr Vadaketh who runs the independent news magazine Jom. Surveys show that a growing number of Singaporeans feel racism is a problem and that it amplified during the pandemic.

Some analysts also say that Mr Lee's government has not adequately solved a complicated long-term issue involving public housing, which most Singaporeans live in. Many people's savings are invested in these flats which are leased from the government for 99 years and will depreciate in value as they age.

His government's decision to let in large numbers of immigrants to solve labour shortages in the late 2000s triggered deep unhappiness. As Singapore became wealthier, social inequality increased and the income gap widened. Under Mr Lee, the PAP received its lowest-ever vote share in 2011 and again in 2020.

"Lee Hsien Loong's main legacy would be the way he supercharged the economy," noted Singapore governance expert Donald Low, who is an academic with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.

"But in the first half of his tenure, that came at the price of increasing unhappiness at rising inequality, the higher presence of foreigners, competition for jobs, congestion and the potential erosion of citizenship identity."
