Population

HomeFunplexEthnic Singaporean

Singapore's total population may hit four million this
year ('99), boosted in part by an influx of foreigners. With our current
population standing at 3.87 million, we take a look at how crowded the island will be when we hit the four-million
mark.
How many foreigners are there in Singapore?
702,100 (as of 1998)
How many are Americans, British and Australians?
Americans: 10,000 - 12,000
British: 10,000
Australians: 5,000

The three most heavily-populated areas in Singapore
are...
Tampines/Simei,
Hougang/Serangoon/Yio Chu Kang
and Ang Mo Kio
The three most least-populated areas in Singapore
are...
Telok Ayer/Raffles,
Changi/Tanah Merah,
Choa Chu Kang/Sungei Tengah

To ship out 4 million Singaporeans...
...10,076 Boeing 747s would be needed
All 4 million Singaporeans would fit into 2,223 MRT
trains (maximum capacity of an MRT train with six carriages is 1,800)
If all 4 million Singaporeans could be housed in one
standard HDB block...
...it would need to have 250,000 storeys

How do we cope? 
Some ideas: Stretch Housing Board blocks
to 30 stories  and beyond; Turn sleepy Pulau
Ubin into another new town, with undersea tunnels connecting the island to the
mainland; Convert part of military haven Pulau
Tekong
into residential area...
