What are the racial proportions among Singapore citizens?
10 December 2019
The racial proportions have remained stable, and in line with the Government’s commitment to keep them stable.
[Updated as of 2 Oct 2024]
The proportions of each race in Singapore’s citizen population have remained stable. These numbers are published annually in the Government’s Population-in-Brief report, which can be accessed here.
This is in line with the Government’s commitment to maintain the racial balance in the citizen population, as then-Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong stated in Parliament in 2013. This enables us to preserve social stability and the multiracial character of our society.
