Having been to Singapore, I can say firsthand that none of the criteria for such a goal exists within the Bahamas. The people thrive on a culture based on the glorification of mediocrity and ignorance. The Government thrives on a culture of leasing their resources for pennies to foreigners whilst keeping the average Bahamian in a state of stupidity. Instead of developing your own facilities , the Bahamas is too dependent on the faculties of the foreign investor. If someone build something prosperous they are looking to run it not hand it over to the locals. Singapore learned the software and shipping industry from foreigners, then after mastering it told them to go to hell. Something the Bahamas wouldn't have the gall to do in a million years.
