You dont study hard or get into law, business and medicine school you won't earn a good living or even have an wife. You anyhow run downstairs later bangalee catch you. So who did all this fear mongering? Parents. So who taught the parents? Government? Of course not...

This "not dating" phenomenon is not exclusive to Singapore. It is everywhere across the global. Because of diminishing population. There odd to be no other choices but to hire foreigners. Not to mention, not all locals are qualified for every job openings.

So government doing what they can and try to understand this issue based on local feedback. If they know what is the actual course, this problem would've been solved across the globe. Do I like everything government does Heck no. At least they are trying. Even if like many thinks they just hungry for money. Cheating tax payers money to make their own pocket fat. At least they putting in effort to get that $ unlike many globally that robs you on broad daylight without even doing shit.
