When the Population White Paper was released earlier this year, it sparked off a furore which some say exposes the flaws of policy-making in Singapore. The primary point of contention which drew public ire was the idea that the population in Singapore would reach 6.9 million by 2030, a figure most agree would put a tighter squeeze on resources in an already overcrowded city.
Aside from bringing demographic challenges into the spotlight, the White Paper also stoked an underlying concern which resonated amongst Singaporeans: the concept of home on a nationalistic level, and more realistically, the price of purchasing a home in Singapore.
