Serious What are the implications if Singapore reduces her population to 3.5 million?

for me bro honestly i can only last 3 days staying in sg to see my parent after 3 days my soul is screaming to go home(australia) i told my wife we can stay longer BUT everywhere we go we take taxi i dont want to take bus or mrt everyday for 2 weeks.
then now we try to stay in sg 3 days to see our parents and the rest of the holidays we go to other countries it is better! cheaper and happier bro!

You’re like my wife and I. When we go to Singapore to see my parents, we take taxi everywhere since the MRT is always packed now. About open spaces... home was Australia for awhile, but I left before they opened up the country to more Asian emigration. Many of my Malaysian cousins emigrated there after I emigrated from there to North America.

Singapore was good in the 1980s. In the late 1970s and early 1980s I had a lot of fun playing in the construction site of what is now Clementi New Town! Lots of jungle then, lots of space.

The only thing I miss about Singapore is the hawker food. In Melbourne, you have a decent chance of finding relatively ok SE Asian food, but where I am, no such luck...

western countries place citizen concerns above anything else. Singapore, economic data overides what the people want. thats the difference.

u are right bro!
because the goverment in western countries knows their place they are there to serve the people and if they dosent perforn they will be kick out.
just look at Australia now and then we change goverment and still Australia dosent fall and the people are happy always

I was in Taiping/Ipoh/Penang area last year. Those places feel like Singapore was when we were younger. If you haven’t gone there recently, you might want to go!
