Singapore, like the US, is a constitutional republic not a democracy. Winston Churchill once said a pure democracy is like five wolves and a lamb voting on whats for lunch.

The majority party in Singapore is the Peoples Action Party which holds a 81 seat majority in the 84 seat Parliament. 47 MP ran unopposed. There are many opposition parties, but none get any traction with the population. The major opposition parties are the Workers Party, the Singapore Democratic Party, and the National Solidarity Party and the Singapore Peoples Party.

Isn't participating in an opposition party a capital offense in China?

There is only one party in Singapore which is in control. There are opposition parties, but they're window dressing to confused the West as far as it is concerned.
