Packed like sardines

Way too many people in this country. Try walking in Jurong Point. Parting the Red Sea may be easier. Downtown East? Tampines Mall? IMM? West Coast park? East Coast Park? There's hardly room for you to reach out and scratch your bum.

Went to Giant Tampines. Madness. We are so compacted. Everyone is almost rubbing/touching shoulder to shoulder, bum to bum, squeezing our way through throngs of crowd. So much pent up anger. Everyone is a walking pressure cooker. The lines were ridiculous. Everyone is snarling and snapping at each other.
We need personal space. 1 square foot per person is not enuf. 6.5 million people in a couple of years? How will we survive?
