And technically, I'm still a Singaporean so if they cheat and count non-residents as well, folks like me help to beef up the tally! Afterall, it's a 6 mil population, not 6 mil residents, right?Wasn't this figure "revised" downward to 5.5 million recently?

but of course its not enough to replace the baby boomers generation.. and the gahmen are using FT to make up the numbers..

Sigh... I wonder how my niece is doing. She just celebrated her first-month not too long ago.

Major cities all over the world face the same problem, but Singaporeans are still hung up on kpkb'ing over this inevitable issue.
I myself am an FT over here. I think the economic and social contributions I make far outweight whatever social issues I might have caused. Actually, I don't think I've caused ANY issues at all!

"Singapore does not target a specific population number or a population growth. What we are looking for is a viable and self-sustaining population profile — one which helps us to grow a bigger economic pie, and a livelier and more vibrant society," he said.
What a joke... in the end, the govt IS targeting a specific population no.!!
Joker! -

I suspect that there are lots of PRC and Vietnamese migrants here moonlighting as escorts and all that. I keep getting approached by Aussie men who think that they might get lucky with me. Tamade... dressed with no flesh exposed also kena!
