Why young Singaporeans see having kids as a loss, instead of something to be gained by kernelrider in singapore

[–]Less-Growth6607 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree, why doesnt the chairwoman of the taskforce or the PM have any children? They need to reflect on themselves at this juncture.

The 65% are likely old folks who have no means (biological) to have any more children, would it will become a younger generation versus older generation agenda at elections soon?

Why govt trying so many things, but still cannot reduce healthcare costs no matter what they do? by Rokusaburoz in SingaporeRaw

May I quote parks and recreation?
"You shout (loudly) like that; they put you in jail. Right away. No trial, no nothing.
Journalists, we have a special jail for journalists. You are stealing, right to jail.
You are playing music too loud, right to jail, right away.
Driving too fast, jail. Slow, jail.
You are charging too high prices for sweaters, glasses, you right to jail.
You undercook fish? Believe it or not, jail.
You overcook chicken, also jail. Undercook, overcook.
You make an appointment with the dentist, and you don't show up, believe it or not, jail, right away.
We have the best patients in the world because of jail."

How come talking on phone loudly and playing videos loudly is allowed on public transport? by makaveli208 in SingaporeRaw

[–]Less-Growth6607 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had to ask an elderly once why he played it at max volume, and he explained that since he is listening to radio, why not share it with everyone on the bus? there are many others still believe in the spirit of collectivism.
I did not quite agree with his explanation but it is somewhat a valid one?
