[rocket]

The National Population and Talent Division (NPTD) just released its Population in Brief report for the year.

In a nutshell, Singapore’s population hit 5.61 million in June 2016.

The not so good news? The number of foreigners (non-residents + permanent residents) now make up a whopping 64 percent of the population.

Statistics in Brief
Number of citizens: 3.41 million

Number of non-residents: 1.67 million

Number of permanent residents: 0.52 million





Should we panic now? Before we hyperventilate, here are some things to consider.

Without going to the link and based on the stats you provided, the number of foreigners (non-residents 1.67 mil + permanent residents 0.52 mil) make up 39% of the population. About 1/3 of total population (which is what we already know and too fucking many to begin with). How did you derive 64%?

My maths not so good.
But simple maths tell me
No of citizens = 3.41 millions.
Total Population = 5.61 millions
Citizen % of population = 61%


How could foreigners take up a whopping 64% of the population ?

Maybe he meant citizens include new citizens so it's not 3.41 all pure sinkie breed

35 percent of population are foreigners ...that is enough to tell you that PAP is selling out sinkapore.
How many of the 3.41 million citizens are naturalized ones from India, China and Pinoyland? I suspect at least 1 million.

So, Wunderfool math is not off.

 

[Wunderfool]

I think he meant this
No of citizen = 3.41 m
No of foreigners = 1.67 + 0.5= 2.17m
% foreigners of citizen population = 2.17/3.41 = 64%

I feel sorry for Oppies .

If you looked at the birth rate over the last 3 decades, it had dropped so much that there are almost as much death certificate registration as BC registration (cumulatively), post baby-boomer years notwithstanding.

hence the growth in the number in citizens can be attributed largely to new-citizens. My neighbor is PRC-turned-Sinkies

 

[Agoraphobic]

If you count citizens as adults 18 yrs of age+, and with brains. Make that percentage Zero.

Cheers!

Time to scrap National service. It is a waste of time to fight a lost war when the foreigners are already in your backyard milking away every resources we have on this island.
