Agree totally. Since we are on this I want to point out seem a lot
of Sporean highly educated couples are not having babies and this
got our gahmen worried cuz these group of ppl are the one they want
their offspring to secure the future for spore. But they are not
producing enuff babies. There is a theory Mr Cannot Say Surname Sir
is smart couples produce smart babies. The other way round is open
for interpretation. But he is not seeing enuff smart babies come
out hahahaha.....
In contrast, the M and I race and China and foreign ladies are
giving birth at KK hospital. The baby bonus has prompted them but
for those spore educated couples the money not good enuff
hahaha.... In time to come their offspring will dominate the
country. Tink a bit then 
I guess as one who rise up so high in company, taking maternity
leave is a threat to own position in company after come back?
Hehhehee.....[/b]
What can I say. The baby bonus is really not attractive to those
in executive positions. Seriously people in those position are not
looking at $ but more on childcare, mobility, lifestyles etc.
Like they say, different strokes for different folks, plus yes the
threat of losing the position in the company is very real. I don't
see that group of people having kids unless companies are more
pro-family. Just the government wanting is not enough.
