  Sg is a small island and it is already overcrowding in most public areas. Just look at shopping centres, MRT, buses, hospitals, hawkers centres, HDBs,to name a few. I hope our leaders are rationale that our resources are already being stretched so how to take in more people. Sg do have a hinterland to support such a large population. Don't be greed for money and forget the basic.

  some are foreigners, some are kids, some are too old or sick to care to vote...
