You have to hear his other election speeches and his speakers corner speeches as well as read his auto-biography to understand the LCD of Singaporeans balance at juggling English, Mandarin and dialects. In his case during election time, he 'purposely' talked in local 'Singlish' style as opposed to his business way to appeal to voters. You would be surprised that he writes better than some university professors ( read his auto-biography to find out [ saying this bc he represents Singaporeans).
