An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
Minister of Social and Family Development (MSF), Chan Chun Sing, threw up a new figure in the debate on population yesterday.
Speaking at the Economic Society of Singapore (ESS) annual dinner, Mr Chan cautioned that while various population figures have been suggested as optimum or necessary to sustain Singapore’s economic growth, “a lot depends on how attractive people find us as a place to work and live.”
When asked by the event’s moderator, Yeoh Lam Keong, president of the ESS, what he thought was the suitable population size for Singapore, Mr Chan said:
“Will it be 10 million? Will it be less or more? Nobody knows.”
