You mean to Singapore or In Singapore? You said 'at the bus stop', does it mean they are taking bus To Singapore or Taking Bus in Singapore? It's only possible to take Bus from Malaysia to Singapore. From other countries, you need to take plane.

Anyway, in Singapore, one thing for sure is.. there are no man with 7 wives. Polygamy is illegal.

I'm a bit unclear of your question.

well, if this is a joke question so my answer is 2 people got to Singapore, because we dont know if this man's family are going to Singaopre or not?


If this is a real question and all people got to Singapore, so the answer is
1 + 1 + 1 * 7 + 7 * 24 + 12 * 11 + 12 * 11 + 11 *4
= 1 + 1 + 7 + 168 + 132 + 132 + 44
= 9 + 300 + 176
= 9 + 476
= 485 people
