juhui : Before independence, two factors determined Singapore's population - interaction of migration and natural increase. But after 1965, the government of Singapore under Prime Minister Lee Yuan Kew imposed strict controls on immigration, granting only temporary residence permits to workers whose labors or skills were considered beneficial to the economy. According to Government statistics, the current population of Singapore is 4.35 million (June 2005) including expatriates and the rate of employment is 2.40 million (June 2006). The dominant ethnic groups are the Chinese (76.7%), Malays (14%) and Indians (7.9%). Others (Eurasians, Arabs, Jews) comprise 1.4% of the population. Literacy rate of Singapore stands at 95%.
