The term population explosion is usually applied to the rapid growth of people number in the last three centuries. In the 200 years from 1650 to 1850, world population doubled and reached its first billion. In the next 80 years, it doubled again; and by 1975, it had doubled once more to a total of 4 billion. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, it is estimated that it will exceed 6 billion and possibly approach 8 billion unless there is a major reduction in birth rates or a major increase in death rates. To conclude, overgrowth of human population may turn into a serious issue in near future. 

Singapore is too small for the number of cars which move on its roads. Despite the government's policies to reduce the number of cars, there are nearly one million vehicles on Singapore's roads. More than 600,000 of these cars are private and rental cars, including cars used by ride - hailing services such as Grab. Inasmuch as the population of Singapore is less than 6 million, for every six people in this tiny country, there is only one car. Still, it is too many for this miniature land of 728 square kilometers. In brief, Singapore may legislate more restricting rules for car ownership.
