Singapore's population could hit 6.9 million by 2030

The cause and effect of yesterday action is now very clear. This is to remind the younger generation of Singaporeans and let it be a good reminder for all to to see and remember. 20 Jul 1972: Launch of Family Planning Publicity Campaign At the opening of a Family Planning Publicity Campaign launched on 20 July 1972 with the theme “plan wisely for a small, healthy, and happy family�, Minister of Health Chua Sian Chin revealed Singapore Family Planning and Population Board (SFPPB)’s motivation for the campaign. The campaign was aimed at less educated and lower income groups to have only two children in order for their children to have a better chance in life (Ministry of Culture [MOC], 1972). http://infopedia.nl.sg/articles/e35fb572-9cbe-4eae-b69e-1b28a6532c46.html ************************************************************** Population control in Singapore Population control in Singapore spans two distinct phases: first to slow and reverse the boom in births that started after World War II; and then, from the 1980s onwards, to encourage parents to have more children because birth numbers had fallen below replacement levels. Government eugenics policies flavoured both phases. In 1960s and 1970s, the anti-natalist policies flourished. The Family Planning and Population Board (FPPB) was established, initially advocating small families but eventually running the Stop at Two programme, which pushed for small two-children families and promoted sterilisation. From 1969 it was also used by government leaders to target lowly-educated and low-income women in an experiment with eugenics policies to solve social concerns. Government leaders also announced the Graduate Mothers' Scheme in 1984, which favoured the children of mothers with a university degree in primary school placement and registration process over the lesser-educated. After the outcry in the 1984 general elections it was eventually scrapped. Singapore had also been undergoing the demographic transition and birth rates had fallen precipitously. The government eventually became pro-natalist, and officially announced its replacement Have Three or More (if you can afford it) in 1987, in which the government continued its efforts to better the quality and quantity of the population while discouraging low-income families from having children. The Social Development Unit (SDU) was also established in 1984 to promote marriage and romance between educated individuals. Different sources have offered differing judgments on the government policies' impact on the population structure of Singapore. While Stop at Two has been described as basically successful or "over-successful", skeptics of interventionism claim that the demographic transition would have occurred anyway — noting that the government's attempts at reversing the falling birth rates due to the demographic transition have been less than successful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_control_in_Singapore

Aiya everyone now has a standard of living they want to give to their kids. The people back then (babies of the stop at two) did not drink formula milk.
my teacher told me that i shouldn't take MC because my generation is the generation of GOOD FOOD. he wasn't breastfeed by his mother and he drank the KLIM or the everyday milk. or the poorer folks feed their babies with evaporated milk.
Then he say meat is rare, he eat only in special occasion.
I refuted him by saying we have lots and lots of foreigeners flying in and out, carrying their virus and bacteria with them, that's why we all kenna sick.
he say i talking nonsense lor. I actually wanted to mention SARs but I think he will just keep on to his point of view.
