My thots on wat's written below...got it off somewhere...seemingly true but i would rather call this piece of writing an expression of a women's anger...hahahaha...She wrote it due to Govt's call to have more babies...haha...

well, Here's my chauvanistic take on it...This is a statement: Women want everything, from careers to money to good looks...well, it's abt time they learn a thing or two abt "NAtional service", afterall, we guys did a 28 mths service and 15-cycle ICTs. And we regularly get complaints like "wat did they do to deserve higher pay than us" "All they did in army was to run around and play mc"....hahaha...these comments regularly get me up. Well alll ic an say is they NEVER saw this coming...hahahaha...hmmm...wat if someday they make it a law to pro-create in singapore for all married couples....

food for thot eh...

something quite off-track.....they showing that darn william hung on CH5 again this friday...i wonder if they are exploiting his bad voice(quite common trait) or guts (seemingly tonnes of it)....i really dun like this guy, and the way he carries himself turns me off big time sia...

Do not know if you follow up on recent issues on precreation. Today (10th March 2004) I was reading the speech by Dr Ong Seh Hong (Aljunied GRC) who said that its the "duty of citizen to procreate", it really irked me into thinking the mess these people up there is causing! They're trying to emotionally blackmail and exhaust its citizens.

No system is perfect, thus, if they want a competitive economic system, the family do somehow have to take a back seat. Deep seated traditional asian-style family building need loads of personal time and commitment (do we abhore or adhere western fast-food style of family building?). Somehow, one have to give way. If only we can run a family like a corporation and take the womb as a baby churning factory (are we paid sufficiently for operating the factory anyway? Hey! Didn't they incalcate us to be "economic"? Its a better word than "calculative" huh?) then, will we be able to build up the family forces indefinitely. However, those people up there sometimes contradict each other by saying that we gotto seperate the economic aspect from family rearing which is very very much impossible in Singapore. We are incalcated to be economic about life itself, our worthiness is written in our education background, our qualification, house we live, car we drive and type of jobs we hold!!

They perpetuate the idea of such economic worthiness by pushing marriage among graduates, give incentives to the employed mothers-to-be thus leaving out incentives for the lowly educated and the low income from having more children (have more only if you can afford it). If you're sick, the wards and treatment you get (MO or consultant) is dependent on your income. The Singapore shares+other household incentives/subsidise that you get is dependent on your income as well. (Thou these are positive incentives for the low income, it inevitably is a double edged sword which emphasises the value of wealth and its importance in Singapore). It actually run a full circle. We're living in a world not much different from old India's discrimination based on social class as well... Just that ours is a re-packaged caste system.

If they do make it compulsory to make babies, we do indeed are becoming just a factory churning out what is required from us. Look at the educational system, they are conditioned to churn out students for specific industrial sector by forecast of demands and needs and now, we humans, are just mere digits of their forecast in anticipation of declining population?
