Just look at the skyline on this photo. It wasn't as packed even a decade ago. There will be one day where overcrowding really takes over the country, just like current Hong Kong prime areas, and people can't wait to get out. It's sad, really. Not like there's huge lands as well for people to move to 'suburbs'.

I don't think Singapore will suffer the fate of Hong Kong in this respect. Singapore seems to be much smarter about how they build the place up?

Yah I sure hope so. Although whenever we think about the preparation made for a possible 6.9million population, can't help but worry.
