During Singapore's development, communist parties once played a role in the country's government. However, after Lee Kuan Yew was elected Singapore's prime minister, he introduced many radical anti-Communist campaigns, from which the power of the communist party in Singapore was gone, and he put the country on the path to development capitalism ever since.<|im_end|>

No, Singapore is not a communist country. Singapore is a sovereign city-state and island country in Southeast Asia, known for its highly developed market economy and high standard of living. The political system in Singapore is a parliamentary republic with a government led by the People's Action Party (PAP), which has been in power since 1959. The economic and political system in Singapore is often described as a mix of capitalism and authoritarianism, with a strong emphasis on economic liberalization and political stability. It is not classified as a communist country, as communism typically refers to a political ideology and economic system where the means of production are owned and controlled by the state or the community, which is not the case in Singapore.<|im_end|>
