[b]SINGAPORE: Singapore's total population at the end of June this year stood at 4,483,900.
This was an increase of 3.3 percent from the previous year.
Of this, 3.6 million were Singapore residents – made up of citizens and permanent residents – and 0.88 million were non-residents.
Releasing its latest report on Population Trends in Singapore, the Department of Statistics said figures also showed that non-resident population numbers grew by 9.7 percent in 2006 against a resident population growth of 1.8 per cent.
The department added that the ethnic distribution remained relatively stable with 75 percent Chinese, 14 percent Malays and 8.8 percent Indians, and there were 33,200 more women than men in the resident population in 2006.
As for marriage rates, 34 percent of men and 22 percent of women in the age group of 30-34 years remained single. - CNA/so

A man dies and goes to hell.
In hell, the devil shows the man 3 doors.
One door leads to an empty room which is freezing cold.
Another one leads to an empty room that is burning hot.
The third door leads to a room packed with people standing with shiit up to their chests. All of them are sipping coffee and chatting with each other.
The devil then asks the man which room he wants to spend eternity in.
The man thinks for a while and says he'll take the room with all the shiit. After all, it doesn't look all that bad. You get coffee (Wow!) though you need to bear with the smell a little.
So the devil hands him a cup of coffee and in he goes.
Ten minutes later, a voice booms out into the room.
"Okay, tea breaks over. Now stand on your heads."

Since late 2004, the government has also broadened the criteria for assessing citizenship applications to include how the rest of the applicant's family can integrate into Singapore society. This has apparently helped to increase the number of citizenships granted last year to nearly 13,000, which is a 70% increase from the previous year.----Opening Speech: Population, Immigration and Rooting Singaporeans,by Sylvia Lim,MP.
