Videos: Population White Paper Protest, 16 Feb 2013

At least 7,000 people have staged one of Singapore's largest-ever protests, a further sign of discontent over immigration policies and growing income disparities under the long-ruling People's Action Party (PAP). The large crowd braved a drizzle to gather at the Speakers' Corner (Hong Lim Park) in a rare protest against a government white paper on population growth.

The chief organiser of the rally, Gilbert Goh, said the protest on Saturday was a display of citizens' unhappiness over a population plan, which was endorsed in parliament on February 8.
