Lemmings are known for its
" circumpolar distribution that
are notable for population fluctuations and recurrent mass
migrations " - and belong to the same category as
Rodents.
Hamsters are also furry little rodents " from the old world, and feature loveable
large cheek pouches ".
Can Singaporeans be like Lemmings and Hamsters - being able to produce in
large numbers that result in population fluctuations ?
Can we find dutifully scared Singaporeans involve in "mass migration" ?
If you will allow me to continue your little skit :-
IF the goat-herd had taken more care with his
existing goats, tending to it with a greater degree of fairness and
generosity, perhaps the existing goats will consider giving birth
to more off-spring to help the goat-herd become richer.
As matters stand, the goat-herd will only milk the
existing goats till they are bone-skinny, enriching himself with
the sale of goats' milk, and purchase huge expanse of grassy land,
but will deny the existing goats to the benefits of those green
grassy land - which are the by-products of the goats' labor.
Under such circumstances, can the goats even dare to think of
producing more kids - who will eventually grow up to make the
goat-herd even richer and only to be given crummy rewards ?
Moral of the story : Fairness begets
Fairness
