Orphaned references in Demographics of Singapore

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Demographics of Singapore's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "2020Religion":

From Chinese Singaporeans: "20% of Singapore residents have no religion, an increase from the last population census". Channel News Asia. 2021-06-16. Retrieved 2021-06-17.
From Religion in Singapore: "20% of Singapore residents have no religion, an increase from the last population census". CNA. 2021-06-16. Retrieved 2021-06-17.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 23:09, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Propaganda

This entire article is nonsense propaganda which ignores 30% of the population based on their second-class status due to their allocated visa. Individuals live and work in Singapore for decades without representation. The article should be entirely re-written to include actual demographics of Singapore, not just those the Singapore government wishes to recognise. 103.30.92.64 (talk) 15:35, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vital statistics

Unlike the demographics article for almost every other country in the world (and definitely every developed country which have robust statistical agencies), this article is missing a straightforward vital statistic table - population, births, deaths, birth rate, death rate, natural change, tfr by year. 2.55.48.183 (talk) 20:11, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
