Singapore is such a small country and the proportion of white collar jobs to the population is drastically skewed when compared to most countries. This means that they have a larger budget per capita than their neighbor Malaysia for example.

Im not comparing Singapure to Malaysia but Singapure to the US or Germany.
Singapure pays it ministers salaries that are comparable to the private sector.
If those people who try to evade the regulations are payed 100 times the salary that the people who set up the regulations are payed that leads to the smart people being on the private sector side.
Those people who think that having a safe job is more imporant than salary end up with the government and don't innovate.

Maybe the private issued "marriage certificate" could still give these type of rights. Why couldn't it ?

If you want to create extra laws that precisily regulate the private 'marriage' contracts you aren't really removing government regulation of marriage and questions of whether gays can marry and polygamists can marry stay the same.
