First thing to be very very clear about is that the average Singaporean has as much say in the direction of Singapore as any North Korean in the say of the direction of North Korea. And before you tell me Singapore is a democracy, do remember the full name of North Korea is the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea.
Why Singapore need so many foreign workers is not something I can say without the midnight knock on my door.
Whether building for 60,000 foreign workers in Singapore is enough, is best decided by you if that is a joke.
D and Pompeo not the only entities with smoke and mirror and dog and pony shows.
See below the tables for numbers of foreign workers in Singapore. And you decide if building quarters for 60,000 is a joke or not.

A few weeks ago, I worked out in detail and reported here the numbers in dormitories to be about 500,000 to 800,000. Sadly those details were deleted and expunged.
At time of outbreak 2 months back, Foreign Workers (FWs) were packed 20 to a room in double decker beds.
And taken the powers that be days and weeks before they moved them out. And which required time too.
And were they moved out before they got infected?
Do recall in Diamond Princess and USS Roosevelt and France aircraft carrier with much better personal spacing had infection rate of 50%.
Somehow Singapore is making the world believe the infection rate of those hundreds of thousands were only about 3.5%
Leading the fight is a Minister Chan Chun Sing, being paid millions a year, who declared cotton is gotten from sheep. Or perhaps can be spun from sow's ear.
And here are a few sampling of reports from this part of the world to illuminate the mystery here
Do not force me to say more.
At 70++ , I hate the thought of that midnight knock on my door and the horrors that will follow me.
