Horoscope: ASTROLOGY ZONE® by Susan Miller
Estimated population of Singapore citizens and permanent residents - 3,163,500 as at June 1998.
Chinese 77%
Malays 14%
Indians 7.6%
Other ethnic groups 1.4%
Working Language: English
Other official languages: Mandarin, Malay & Tamil.
Planners expect the population of Singapore to reach 5.5 million by 2040 or 2050, taking into account an expected increase in the number of foreigners working here. From just 3 million in 1990, the number has swelled to 3.9 million today, including 700,000 foreigners.
A high-level working committee is now looking at ways to encourage more couples to have babies. Demographer Saw Swee Hock says that if the fertility rate continues to stay below two, the population here, minus the foreigners, will peak at about 3.3 million in 2025 and then begin to drop.
Singapore's water is clean and safe to drink from the tap. There is no need to boil it.

Living with diabetes in the new millennium
Six out of ten diabetics in Singapore do not know they have diabetes. Are you one of them? If you are over 40, overweight, or have a family history of diabetes, go for a blood sugar test every year. People with diabetes often do not have any symptoms. If left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious health complications, like blindness, stroke, kidney failure and limb amputation. Go for a blood sugar test every year. Early detection and treatment help prevent complications and ensure a sweet victory over diabetes.
