THE number of Singapore permanent residents has almost doubled in the last 10 years, from 287,500 in 2000 to 541,000 this year.

Most of the increase is accounted for by immigrants from Malaysia and the Indian subcontinent, according to census data released by the Department of Statistics yesterday.

The share of Indians in the PR ethnic mix climbed from 14.9 per cent in 2000 to 20.4 per cent this year. In absolute numbers, they more than doubled, from 42,700 to 111,000.

The share of Chinese in the PR ethnic mix dropped from 76.1 per cent to 61.4 per cent, although the total number increased from 218,800 to 332,000.

For PRs of Malay ethnicity, the share dropped from 4.1 per cent to 3 per cent, although actual numbers went up from 11,800 to 16,000.

Most of the ethnic Chinese PRs in Singapore hail from Malaysia.

There are more than meet the eyes, I suspect the numbers are being massaged and fixed by PMO.

Maybe actual total PR are about 700k . And about 30% may change to Sg citzen those have settle here more than 10 year. And 50% will do so if they have children who study here.

Have they ever ever reveal the truth in any matter. Most of the time, what is reported or printed on media is selective.
