Get more women to work
The reason for being living in paradise is to work. More women are encouraged to work not because they wanted to, needed to, but because the Govt wanted them to. The old aunties and uncles too are encouraged to work for the same reasons though some have no choice but to keep working. To many Singaporeans, other than the landlord class, many would simply live a life working just to live in paradise.
The whole socio economic system today is that everyone in a household, every able body, must work to support the increasing high cost of living. Housing in particular, is designed to feed on the dual incomes of a household, and may end up feeding on 3 or 4 incomes eventually. Not working is no longer an option today.
The earlier generations went through a period of single income household and could live quite well too. A middle civil servant or middle management level employee could bring up a family on his single income, live in landed property, owned a car, supporting parents and several children at the same time.
How could it be possible then and not now? Today, anyone thinking of living on a single income and to support parents and children, even if he is in senior management level, is a big hassle. Only people in top management or ministers could afford such a privilege, and those who have inherited wealth and owning a list of properties. The majority of the average Singaporeans would have to live a life working to make ends meet.
Can the socio economic system be fine tuned, tweaked or whatever, to return to a single income family when the quality of family life was much better, when children have their play time and mothers to watch them while they grow up. What is happening to day is that everyone is on his own, parents working furiously, children studying furiously or playing furiously without the watchful eyes of their mothers but foreign maids to keep them company. The mothers have a duty not only to bring in the bacon and pay for the mortgages, but also as a national duty to turn the economic wheel and to produce more babies at the same time.
Getting more women to work is a serious thing, a necessity. Gone were the days when women can afford to choose whether to work or to be home maker. They have only one choice now, work.
In the good old days, when the angmohs were running the little paradise, we had what we called "cost of living allowance". One's pay was indexed to your family status. When one got married, had children etc, one received substantial increase in pay through these allowances. More children more pay.
ReplyDeleteWhen the white men were replaced by the Men in White, this was discontinued.
Getting more woman to work and having babies are mutually exclusive. The elites knew these all along.
ReplyDeleteThe hypocrisy of PAP is obvious. They have never been interested in letting Singaporeans procreate. They are going to replace us with FT.
In no time, children below 18 will have to work and struggle for their own survivals.
ReplyDeleteDo not think it wont happen!

RB, if they fixed the 30 years mortgage, they fix the necessity of having dual income. That is the largest tax of all in sinkie land.
ReplyDeleteMany Sinkies will dare the Government to proceed with lease of 30 years.

30 year mortgage is like rental. It will be over before you know it.
ReplyDelete30 year mortgage is acceptable if the price of property is down by 70% from the current cost with no decrease in size.
ReplyDeleteIs Minister Khaw listening?

Ever since the world went off the gold standard, and price inflation from fiat money printing went insane, women have had to work to help out with the spiraling costs of staying alive.
ReplyDeleteFor awhile there the feminists achieved the "right" of women to work. Now, for most families, it is A NECESSITY.
Greed knows no boundaries and conyou has all the right tools (mostly given by the people) to screw the people. The only way is probably to vote for a party on the side of the ordinary people not foreigners, not landlords, not business owners.
ReplyDeleteThe candle flame is flickering and the light will go off any time.
ReplyDelete@344:
ReplyDeleteSome of the people need to be screwed, because they simply won't yield to common sense -- i.e. it is the private sector which creates the jobs and the wealth.
If there is no "business friendly" government, Singapore will be gone within a few months. Anyone still alive or still around after that will be eking out a living by selling their shitless arseholes (shitless because no one can afford food) to foreign workers for 2 dollars a pop.
