Holy fuck, there is already 530,000 PRs. Plus another 260,000 living with them but not PR. FT Non resident population = 1.63 million. Sinkie citizens = 3.38 million. Now, FTs are 48% of the population. Add another 1.5 million to bring it to target of 6.9 million, and sinkies will be out numbered. In the 7 years from 2007 to 2014, 348,654 new citizenships were granted!! In addition, 30,000 new PRs will be granted every year. Stupid 70% suckers.
Singapore population hits 5.54m but growth slowest in a decade
The Republic’s population grew 1.2 per cent between June 2014 and 2015, the slowest growth in 10 years, according to statistics released by the National Population and Talent Division
SINGAPORE: Even as more Singaporeans are getting married and having babies, the Republic’s population grew at its slowest in a decade, rising 1.2 per cent to reach 5.54 million in June.
The statistics, released on Wednesday (Sep 30) by the National Population and Talent Division (NPTD) in its annual Population in Brief report, also showed that the number of citizens rose to 3.38 million, through births and immigration.
There were about 20,000 new citizens last year, with 37.5 per cent of them aged 20 and below, 27.9 per cent of them aged between 31 and 40, and 19.6 per cent above 40 years old. The Government plans to continue taking in between 15,000 and 25,000 new citizens each year to prevent the citizen population from shrinking, the report said.
The number of permanent residents remained stable at 0.53 million. The Government will grant about 30,000 PRs each year to keep the PR population stable and to ensure a pool of suitable candidates for citizenship, the NPTD said.
