No. There isn't SUPPOSED to be any slums in Singapore. Land is precious there and the Singapore Government does and will do whatever it can to remove and prevent the formation of slums, a far cry from the 60s and 70s when a substantial portion of people were living in slums. One of the ways they did this was Public housing , the Hdb flats which pretty much ensured universal housing for all its citizens…in theory at the very least. However, unofficially, which is to say “unreported” hidden slums may exist due to the influx of foreign workers. These workers who are unable to find affordable or legal accommodation will sometimes rent a room with many of them packed in.
