The Baby Conundrum~

"Eh the Singapore Birthrate has fallen to 1.2 births per woman man. How?? We are only 0.1 births away from the world's lowest fertility rate owned by South Korea."

"No problem one, if we cannot reproduce, we will import our babies from other countries. Like that, we can have lots and lots of babies and Singapore can become a baby hub!"

"But how abt giving maternity and child benefits to parents, just like what the french has succeeded in doing, look at where their birthrate stands now, 2 births per woman!"

"No no no, Singapore is a competitive country eh...we wanna stay efficient and have that competitive edge, just import can already, like that can diversify also, then got a more vibrant culture eh? Then maybe can become cultural hub eh? Tio bo?"
