Today's Sunday Times, first page big big title, LKY again screaming about survival of Singapore at stake if we do not pro-create ... immigration is only short term solution
He lamented 44% of 30-34 years Singaporeans hippies are still singles (confirmed MM is the best investment in next 20y) and Chinese having a pathetic 1.04 birth rate
Then you turn into subsection of Sunday Times ... again big big title "How to save for your child's education" ... figure given is 8k per year for preschool and quoting all sort of money suckers like ILP, endowment plan ... best still one guys said endowment plan only returns 3-4% on average
Actually what have PAP done to encourage pro-creation other than the pathetic baby bonus which barely covers hospital expenses and negligible tax benefit for 2nd kid onward?
Some obvious policies like reduce cost of preschools, COE discount for big family, maid levy waiver, set up a special CPF education account etc are so obvious but no sound no picture
Talking is no use, show us some colors, when people do not feel secure retiring, who will care about whether Singapore can survive 50y down the road.
