You and John are right.
Here is an extract from last year.
http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/singapore-population-report-more-than-33000-babies-in-2014"The breakdown of TFR by ethnic group shows a small increase for the Chinese, from 1.05 in 2013 to 1.13 last year. Similarly for the Malay community, from 1.66 in 2013 to 1.73 last year. The Indian community also registered a slight uptick from 1.11 in 2013 to 1.13 last year."
The replacement rate is scary. Not sure if Singapore as we know it will last till the next generation.
"The replacement rate for Singapore is 2.1 per cent."

Malays having many kids is a myth today. I have a dispatch company and looking at the employee data, i can see most Malay employees have 2 kids each and stop already, whether religious or tattoed.
