Singapore needs a population of at least 10 million people by 2100 in order to remain as a sovereign nation, said former HDB Chief Dr Liu Thai Ker.
Speaking to reporters from the state media on the sidelines of a property forum yesterday, Dr Liu also blasted netizens for opposing population growth:
“Before Singaporeans complain, they have to ask themselves: How long do you want Singapore to stay as a sovereign country?”, he questioned.
Dr Liu added his idea of the population increasing from the current 5.6 million to 10 million in less than a hundred years was a low estimate of the growth rate.
While the Government has been taking steps to curb population growth, he said:
“You cannot stop population growth, because as long as your economy is booming and you create new jobs, you need new population.”
The PAP regime had earlier released a Population White Paper in 2013 to increase Singapore’s population to 6.9 million people by 2030, sparking a massive outcry among Singaporeans who are becoming a minority in their own country.
