【选举】王瑞杰称未说过人口增一千万 惟过去20年每年平均增8.7万
在周三（1日）的新传媒朝野政党电视辩论，民主党武吉巴督单选区候选人徐顺全，质问政府有意作一千万人口的规划，但随即被行动党荷兰-武吉知马候选人维文驳斥，指这是虚假声明。
至于东海岸集选区候选人王瑞杰则声称，他不曾说过要把人口增至1千万。政府也未有这个目标。而当前的趋势来看，到2030年可能人口还少过690万。
而民主党较后发文表示，成功从行动党那里取得保证，他们无意把人口增至一千万。
若检视新加坡统计局的数据，可以发现从1999年至2019年，短短20年期间，人口已增加多达174万4846人。等同每年平均增长8万7242人，除了2003年人口增长稍微放缓（当年遇上沙斯病毒疫情）。
尽管王瑞杰称2030年人口不会超过690万，不过若上述增长趋势持续，到2033年或许人口将超过690万人。
