We live in a country, where we break our back everyday just to break even with the cost of living.

Even with 8million population, our healthcare system will be stressed to the max, PM Wong..A & E depts will not be able to cope wif emergency cases. Pls reconsider

Markllj :

WHY I have the feelings that....I think he attended too many interviews and give too much speeches

Rahaman Property Agent :

Population is 10 million is a matter of time we can give all kind of explanations and excuses but the numbers and the calculations shows everything in numbers and strategies

Śenior ✌️🇸🇬 :

Due to global economics, ERP aso increased

Ilham Joker :

I thought this uncle want to give more help to Singapore... 🤔

Winhill :

Clear articulation. 👍👏 Singapore may rely on technology to boost productivity and strengthen national competitiveness, instead of depending on population-driven growth. A model based on population expansion is often inefficient and can create long-term challenges. Only through technological advancement can Singapore ensure sustainable development. The United States has maintained its leading position through continuous innovation in areas like the internet and AI.

Laymansplainer :

The logic should be inverted: with AI there won't be enough jobs to support a large workforce. which sort of works with a low TFR and shrinking population

OpenNet :

if you truly look at maintaining the population then I'm okay. but it seems like it's an endless grow at all cost at this moment

Halojumps :

Just wait. Even if TFR remains stagnant or declines, our population will still increase quite a bit.

iamryanpang :

You tell me ? How did we get into where we are at now when TFR is so low ?

atonne :

Kate :

very crowded already

jus 00 tin :

Maybe more relevant rather than more productive in the future?

Find the Truth :

Just because of a declining population does not mean we should sacrifice the stability of our country's population structure.
