perhaps 75% of singapores population as a whole voted for PAP?

yeah. think of it this way. if 51% of the ppl in a GRC vote for PAP, who wins the seat?

so it is perfectly possible for 25 of 27 seats to be won with less than 93% of the vote...

In a similar way, George W Bush won the presidency but lost to Al Gore on in the popular vote.

you can win a clean sweep with 40% of the vote if all the electorates have 3 candidates and the other two parties each get 30%; that has nothing to do with true or untrue democracy
