Singapore is a young nation, too early to tell if our system is resilient enough to continue its success.
Racial harmony is a requisite, else we go the Sri Lankan way.
Not surprising you do not see racism in Singapore, we consciously avoid it like the plague, but of course not 100%.
Minorities in Singapore, and similarly China, that don't have this economic competitive culture, are given many freebies and benefits over the main population, so they don't lag behind and create much dissatisfaction.
So favoritism is more for our minorities, mainly the Malays.
3 of our 8 Presidents are Indians serving a total of 20+ years in 58 years of Independence, with the current President being half Indian, although Indians are only 7.5% of our population.
The minorities do suffer some inconvenience such as less areas serving their specific foods and TV programs(negated by Internet TV).
Sacrifices are mainly made by the majority Chinese to create a harmonious society to enjoy peace and prosperity, as per what is said by our PM.
Some of us may criticize China or be brainwashed by incessant China Hate propaganda, but most of us have kilt and kin in China.
It must be really DUMB when China Haters fail to understand when ethnic Chinese feel proud too for the achievements of the land of their ancestors.
Haha, in Singapore, minority netting a Chinese wife is a mark of accomplishment.

With Malay boss Saudi Arabia MBS pivoting to China, and also those Iranian Mullah aligning to China, I see relationship of Chinese Malay improving in future. MBS seeks to modernize Saudi like crazy these days. MBS is also liberating women.
I have always argued those patriotic Islamic individuals see modernization as a way forward.
