If the PAP is indeed very good, they would have built good infrastructure and the system would have been able to accommodate a number of govt run by different political parties before showing signs of breakage. France politics is a good example where their strong and independent civil service and prefects have run the country very well despite the in and out of various parties forming govts.
When LKY set in place the tradition of absolute one-party rule, he was laying the foundation of future political instability. Other countries like France have tradition of multiparty democracy which allows the civil service to evolve into an independent machinery as it should be. The lack of this tradition in SG will be the reason why the system here has to weaken before it can strengthen again.
