SINGAPORE'S population stood at 5.4 million in June, a 1.6 per cent rise from the previous mark of 5.31 million.
The increase, however, was the smallest growth in the past nine years, said the National Population and Talent Division in its annual Population in Brief report released on Thursday.
There was also some good news on the ongoing push to encourage Singaporeans to have more babies.
The resident total fertility rate increased from 1.2 in 2011 to 1.29 last year, with improvements seen across all ethnic groups.
