But in 2013, as if to prove who was really boss, civil servants supported PM Lee with “A Sustainable Population for a Dynamic Singapore“. Target population: 6.9 million in 2030.
By 2015, Singapore’s population had exceeded LKY’s 5.5 million optimum population.
It’s no coincidence that everything has started breaking down: PM Lee’s folly has caused a huge strain on infrastructure.
To sum up PM Lee’s folly:
2007 – Government projected a population of about 6.5 million between 2047 and 2057. Infrastructure is constructed based on population projection.
2008 – LKY said 5.5 million was optimum population.
2008 – PM Lee achieved a record annual population increase of 250,000.
2010 – 5-year population increase = 811,000 vs 29,935 new HDB flats. (hundreds of thousands of work permit holders and PRs live in HDB flats, PRs alone increased from 386,000 to 541,000)
2013 – 6 year earlier projection of 6.5 million in 2047 to 2057 increased to 6.9 million and brought forward by at least 17 years to 2030.
2015 – Population at 5.535 mil.
2017 – Population at 5.612 mil.
