The topic here is not whether I like the education system or not. It is about having more babies. Btw, where did you have your education? You can't even un...

Free formal education through university.

Really free.

Think about it.

This is not welfare. Let's not waste time. Let's implement it.

I will have 4 childrens.

Those who agree, upz this subject.

Banish abortion. Laughing

not feasible. the returns are not immediate unlike giving our singapore shares and ERS

SRS was used/consumed by paying PAP Kindergarden (and is the most affordable available) school fees. Heck, the little lad have not even entered PRIMARY SCHOOL!

The problems quoted are loss of billions of dollars, ageing issues in 20 years times, need foreign talent, blah blah blah blah.

I am proposing an immediate solution to a long term problem. Who needs immediate return? Who?

To be a father, is the best thing to happen in my life. (So far)

so, to support the next lot of aging population, we have 10 million people in singapore?

rojak12 SG

Did I say 10 million? Not all will have 4 children like me. But we need a 2.1 ratio, at least!

rojak12 SG

Thanks, you are saying it will have a BIG impact and will work! Thanks!

Btw, did I say 10 million? Not all will have 4 children like me.

But we need a 2.1 ratio, at least!

the Bear SG

then you doom your children..

seriously...

doesn't anyone read the science papers? or watch the documentaries?

we run out of resources in a generation if we keep up our population growth...

then, read about Easter Island... only, that will happen on a global scale..

10 million.. because when it was 2 million, they said 2.5.. when 2.5 was reached, it was 4.. next would be 6... how long was it when we were 2.5 million people in singapore?

when your children probably reach the age of majority, they may be looking at 10 million or more..

Tax who pay first?

Free this must up something. If you don't up tax, then what do you to suggest to increase?

hisoka SG

actually i’ve always wondered if there really if a problem.will we reach equilibrium once again after the present batch of relatively over populated elders die off

cut cost

rojak12 SG

I am proposing to solve a long term problem. Since not having enough babies are causing so much loss of $$$ and social related issues which in terms costs $$$, by solving this, there will be a BIG BIG PROFIT in the end!

How is the cost of education being arrived? If you pay a tuition fees of 10K per year and the course size is 500, are you saying to run that particular course for 1 year, it will need $5 000 000? Think about it lah. $ 5 million for 1 year, $20 million for 4 years. If really so expensive, I want to see how these numbers are arrived.

If whenever a proposed solution comes up and someone says who pay, up tax etc, then we go back to the original equations. Pay and pay, work very hard, no time, no baby.

rojak12 SG

Thanks, you are saying it will work. Thanks.

As for who pays, who do you think should pay? You mean, GST, COE, Transport, Utilities, Housing(Leasehold somemore), company tax, etc, IRs, still not enough?

By setting up high level committees, advert, campaign, baby bonus, survery etc, these are free meh? And what is the impact?

ndmmxiaomayi SG

Explanation?

the Bear SG

increasing the population is to sell the future in order to buy the present..

but then, who's listening to good sense? Laughing

charlize SG

Of course.

And another 20 million to support the 10 million when they grow old.
