Singapore is getting over-crowded

Many of us may not realise it. But the population of Singapore had increased by 60% during the past 16 years. The population in 1990 was 2.7 million. It is now 4.3 million.

This large increase in population is affecting our daily lives in the following ways:

* demand for more hospital beds and doctors
* delayed buses and cramped trains
* congested roads, insufficient parking spaces, too many cars

It looks like the infrastructure has to be expanded considerably to cope with the larger population.
