We need Hero Musk in SG
Trump says he will ‘take a look’ at deporting Musk as feud reaches new height
Andrew FeinbergWed, 2 July 2025 at 12:31 AM SGT3-min read
Donald Trump said he would “take a look” at deporting Elon Musk after his former ally renewed criticism of the tax and spending megabill on which the presidenthas bet his legislative agenda.
As he departed the White House on Tuesday to visit an immigration detention facility in Florida, the president was asked if the Tesla billionaire – a naturalized American citizen originally from South Africa – could be forced out in retaliation for his attacks on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act under debate in the Senate.
“I don’t know,” he replied. “We’ll have to take a look.”

Estate Duty was abolished for deaths on and after 15 Feb 2008. Estate duty is a tax on the total market value of a person's assets - cash and non-cash - at the date of death. All the private property owners must have voted for PAP because of this. As only 15% of S'poreans live in private homes, there are many others who voted for the PAP, even though their own HDB homes do not belong to them, but the Housing Board.

In other words, our Ministers abolished estate duty as it would benefit them and the beneficiaries of their Will.

S’pore population now at 6.11 million, with 1.2% rise due to more construction workers, maids
Singapore’s population continued to age rapidly as at June 2025, and more Singaporeans remained single.
Summary
- Singapore's population rose 1.2% to 6.11 million, driven by an increase in non-resident population, according to the Population in Brief 2025 report.
- The increase was mainly due to more work permit holders in the construction sector and domestic helpers.
- Citizen births increased by 1.2% to 29,327 in 2024, but citizen marriages fell 5.7% to 22,955 and more Singaporeans are staying single.

SINGAPORE – Singapore’s population grew by 1.2 per cent in the past year, with 6.11 million people calling the little red dot home as at June 2025.
The increase was mainly due to the growth in the non-resident population, such as work permit holders in the construction sector and domestic helpers, said the National Population and Talent Division (NPTD), which released the Population in Brief 2025 report on Sept 29.
Meanwhile, the nation’s population continued to age rapidly, and more Singaporeans remained single.
There was a spot of good news on the baby front, though.
In 2024, there were 29,237 citizen births, which refers to babies with at least one Singaporean parent. This is a 1.2 per cent increase from the 28,877 such babies born in 2023.
The Republic’s resident total fertility rate, which reached a historic low in 2023, remained unchanged at 0.97. The figure refers to the average number of babies each woman would have during her reproductive years.
As at June 2025, Singapore had 3.66 million citizens, a slight increase from 3.64 million citizens a year ago. The number of permanent residents (PR) remained unchanged at 0.54 million.
The rest of the 1.91 million in population were non-residents, with the foreign workforce making up about two-thirds of this group. The remaining one-third comprised mainly domestic helpers, dependants and students.
Among new citizens in 2024, almost two in three, or 64.3 per cent, came from South-east Asia. Close to one in three, or 32.8 per cent, was from other Asian countries, while fewer than 3 per cent hailed from elsewhere.
All new adult citizens came from the pool of PRs as individuals have to obtain the PR status before they may apply for Singapore citizenship, said the report. The majority of PRs were between 25 and 59 years old.
Singapore’s annualised population growth rate over the past five years was 1.5 per cent, compared with 0.5 per cent in the preceding five years, from 2015 to 2020.
This was mainly due to an increase in the number of work permit holders in the construction sector to support key infrastructure projects, such as Changi Terminal 5 and the ramping up of housing supply, said NPTD.
The city-state’s non-resident population grew by 2.7 per cent year on year to 1.91 million in June. It added 34,000 foreign workers between June 2024 and June 2025, compared with 39,000 in the preceding year.
The median age of citizens rose to 43.7 years in June, compared with 43.4 years in June 2024. Meanwhile, the number of citizens aged 65 and above rose from 19.9 per cent in 2024 to 20.7 per cent in 2025.
Singaporeans marrying later, having smaller families
Fewer Singaporeans tied the knot in 2024, said the 31-page report, which is published annually.There were 22,955 citizen marriages in 2024, which is 5.7 per cent lower than the 24,355 such marriages in 2023. A citizen marriage is one involving at least one Singaporean.
Over a longer period, the average number of annual citizen marriages has also trended down. Between 2020 and 2024, there were about 23,000 such marriages each year, compared with 23,600 such unions in the preceding five years.
Citizens are also marrying later – the median age at first marriage for men was 30.8 years in 2024, compared with 30.1 a decade prior. For women, it rose to 29.1 years, compared with 27.9 in 2014.
The report noted that the number of singles has been rising in recent years – between 2019 and 2024, the proportion of singles rose across almost all age groups for both men and women.
The trend was particularly pronounced among younger adults, with those in the 25 to 29 and 30 to 34 age groups registering higher proportions of singles compared with other age groups.
Alongside later marriages, Singaporean families are also getting smaller.
The share of Singaporean women aged between 40 and 49 with just one child rose from 15.9 per cent in 2004 to 22.8 per cent in 2024. The data refers to ever-married women, or those who are currently married, divorced or widowed.
The proportion of such women in this age group with three or more children fell significantly from 34.5 per cent to 20.6 per cent in that time period.
And the number of such women with no children doubled from 6.7 per cent in 2004 to 14.4 per cent in 2024.
To encourage Singaporeans to have more children, the Large Families Scheme was announced during the Budget debate in February to provide additional financial support of up to $16,000 for each third and subsequent citizen child.
For example, families with three or more Singaporean children aged one to six years old will receive $1,000 in credits for each child from Sept 10, and they will continue to receive $1,000 every year till the child turns six.
The Large Family LifeSG credits can be used at various physical and online merchants to defray household expenses such as groceries and utilities.

Growing the population in S'pore benefits the PAP. When the population increases, it puts pressure on housing and land prices which inflates the value of SG's land reserves. The govt’s financial reserves are estimated to be around $3 trillion, but the land it owns is worth several times that amount. The value of this land increases every time a new HDB record is set. The govt uses the excuse of rising property prices to divert more money from the national budget into housing subsidies, which then flow back into the reserves when land is sold to HDB and private developers. This is done without having to spend money on things that would genuinely improve the lives of S'poreans.

It also creates inflation which means prices have to continue going up...if not how to pay for such high prices? High property prices also equal high rents etc...

I agree that it is a vicious cycle that affects everyone in SG. Higher property prices and rents means that a huge segment of aspiring condo buyers will have to settle for larger HDB flats, pricing out HDB buyers of Executive and 5-room units who will turn to 4-room or even smaller apts.

How to stack 10 million people into an island that is only 735.7 km²?
It will resemble an overcrowded chicken enclosure.
