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.

Hallo everyone

We have started combing the streets of Singapore to photograph interesting buildings, both old and new, for you to view on the Internet. It's a sort of arm-chair sightseeing. You can be in any part of the world, but as long as you can log onto the Internet, you will be able to join me as I take you to explore Singapore. Next weekend, I will take you to Beach Road, where Raffles Hotel is, and the Singapore River - to take in the views. The following weekend, you will be able to see the Geylang area in pictures. So, you see, you don't even have to be in Singapore to enjoy the sights of Singapore.

Of course, it's even better if you can make the trip. There's so much to eat and shop here. And the sun is always nice and warm.
