Horoscope: ASTROLOGY ZONE® by Susan Miller
Estimated population of Singapore citizens and permanent residents - 3,163,500 as at June 1998.
Chinese 77%
Malays 14%
Indians 7.6%
Other ethnic groups 1.4%
Working Language: English
Other official languages: Mandarin, Malay & Tamil.
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.
Singapore's water is clean and safe to drink from the tap. There is no need to boil it.
