Serious Fucking PAP has to use referendum for important decisions, just like UK/Brexi

That is how a real democracy has to work. The UK put such an important decision as to whether to stay in the EU or to exit it up for a referendum. The voter decides directly and both sides have the ability to do a long campaign and education process to persuade the voters to vote their way. The Brexit referendum is a good example of this, where there was lively debate in the mass media whether to stay or leave.

Singapore has to do the same thing in order to decide such important things as a population increase to 6.9 million or 10 million. This is a contentious issue, and is not subject to any laws or regulations. This is different from CPF withdrawal. In the CPF case, they change or pass new rules regulating the withdrawal age, amount, etc. However, there are no laws that require singapore to accept foreigners till a goal of 10 million is reached. therefore, this is a clear case for referendum. How about it Gay Loong?
