Population Debate In Singapore Fueled By Government White Paper

SINGAPORE - FEBRUARY 13: Commuters stand inside a train in the Tanjong Pagar MRT station during rush hour at the central business district area on February 13, 2013 in Singapore. The government white paper revealed Singapore's population may increase 30% to over 6.9 million by 2030, with nearly half the population expected to be foreign-born. Many local residents are critising the plan concerned about the added strain on housing, transportation and healthcare and the diminishing identity of the Singaporean community.
