SINGAPORE: Many in Singapore appear to think that the country is overpopulated, based on answers to a question posted on r/askSingapore on Sunday .

He explained this further, writing, “So hard to relax in Singapore when everywhere is so crowded. Trouble getting seats and facing long queues at food establishments. In addition, at any public space, you have to move slower because hoards of people are in your way.” “In 2021, the population density of Singapore was 7,485 people per square kilometre. The population of Singapore had been increasing over the years within a very limited space, posing challenges such as housing shortages and land scarcity,” saysHowever, a high population density does not equal overpopulation, as there are areas with advanced economies that can handle a high population density, such as Hong Kong or the Netherlands.

“World population might eventually start decreasing, already happening in china and they have many empty houses. without importing, our population would be declining as well,” a Reddit user opined.
