Planners expect the
population of Singapore to reach 5.5 million by 2040 or 2050, taking
into account an expected increase in the number of foreigners working
here. From just 3 million in 1990, the number has swelled to 3.9 million
today, including 700,000 foreigners. |
A high-level working
committee is now looking at ways to encourage more couples to have
babies. Demographer Saw Swee Hock says that if the fertility rate
continues to stay below two, the population here, minus the foreigners,
will peak at about 3.3 million in 2025 and then begin to drop. |

Former Oriental emporium in Hougang re-opens as
Heartland Mall Kovan
|
Those
of us who miss the old Oriental Emporium building in Block
205 Hougang Street 21 are now glad that the old building
has completed its makeover. The building has reopened as Heartland
Mall Kovan.
|
Over
the last few days, crowds have been pouring into the
revamped shopping centre even though many of the 40 shops have yet
to open for business. Here we find the old names - KFC,
Delifrance, Guardian Pharmacy and new ones, such as This
Fashion, Prima Deli, VineMart (DIY), Edosushi and
myepb.com store. Major tenants are Cold Storage (ground
floor), SAFE Superstore (lst floor) and myepb (2nd floor;
yet to open). There's even a comics store on the 2nd
floor.
|
With
this new look and new name, Heartland Mall Kovan is sure to
draw the crowds back into the "Heartland" once
more and put life back into Kovan City (neighbourhood
centre).
