As a Singaporean myself, I’m not sure what the gotcha here is? Just because you’re Singaporean doesn’t mean you won’t have connections with the CCP. There’s a case that happened recently where a Singaporean spied on the US for China.

It doesn’t help that Singaporean Chinese have been the target of psyops from China. It’s not an uncommon train of thought from China that all ethnic Chinese regardless of their nationality owe their loyalty to China.
