How many constituences in the UK and in Singapore?

I asked Google - how many constituences in the UK?

The answer - 650, each electing a single MP to the House of Commons.

I asked Google - how many constituces in Singapore. Google does not know. So they give me this page:

So I asked again. How many MPs in Singapore?
The answer - 92, 89 elected and 3 Non Constituency MPs.

My conclusion - things are so convoluted in Singapore. We spend a lot of energy to sort out the complications, and do not have any energy left to solve our real problems - such as bringing down the cost of living, making sure that our citizens have jobs, can marry and have children, etc.

Wow.
