Logic at work here: Spore has 690km2 of land. Divide that up with
6,500,000 people, 9500 people per square kilometer. Cosy enough for
you?
But I suppose if you are living in a huge bungalow shared by 4-5
people, you won't really feel the 'crush', would you?
Please Minister Mah, please don't patronise me! I live in a small
apartment shared by quite a few others, and I know what 'crowded'
means. Don't tell me that S'pore won't burst at the seams unless
you come live with me. Oh...please don't take that as a serious
invitation.....[/b]
If you ever do get a direct response to that, it will be in the
form of Minister Mah (with entourage of 20 bodyguards) having a
whole train carriage vacated during peak hour (leaving many workers
having to take next train), cruising in it for several stops before
stepping out to declare that "I now have 1st hand experience of
public transport, fear not Singaporeans, we will not be bursting
at the seams "
