SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore’s population grew by 1.2 per cent in the past year, with 6.11 million people calling the little red dot home as of June 2025.

The increase was mainly due to growth in the non-resident population, such as work permit holders in the construction sector and domestic helpers, said the National Population and Talent Division (NPTD), which released the Population in Brief 2025 report on Sept 29.
