heard on the radio this morning about comments like the govt is not doing enuf even with these latest measures; tat having kids is a life-long burden; kids "need" extra tuition etc etc.

glad there are some listeners who basically f@cked those negative ones up

the entitlement mentality is terrible. now what is it - is it the govt's responsibility to have babies? what about your own choices? no incentive; no babies ah????

kudos to those of us who have our kids and did not depend on any incentive.
u go for what you want in life; what's important to you. most of the time you get what you work hard for. but sometimes life deals you a different hand - tats life.

the water will find its level.

They're kiasu lah..Saw the heat up for WP and try to cool it? By the way what is those baby bonus and Leave entitlement for...Do you think employer would want to employ Singaporean with 2 week reservist. 1 week/16 week ( Father/Mother maternity leave)+6/2 days ( child care leave below 7 / fm 7-12 yrs)..boss look for multitask staff and who cover your duties when you're away ..who suffer in the work force? I suggested that Full days childcare should not collect more than $150 per child ( since they want us to have more children) and Public transportation should be free for children and Senior...

Reading all these incentives make me sick. Not that I am against it.

I hv two boys, eldest one 21 yrs old. We wanted a girl, if possible. And so was willing to try. And then ??? There were DISINCENTIVE for us to try for another one.

No hospital subsidy. Pay Full Rate.
No schooling priority, as in elder child in same school. Etc etc

And then now they say not enough children to replace us. And so they import foreigners to make up those numbers.

WTF ......

" And so. Is there a change in the direction of the ministry ? Was the direction wrong ? "

" Oh no. There was nothing wrong and not a change in direction. Let's call it a RETHINK "

KHKL ...... bloody talk cock

i do employ Singapore males and i will do all i can to accommodate the extra paternity leave on top of existing leave entitlement and NS obligation.
i hire on merit and these shouldn't deter me at all. i'm sure there are like-minded employers out there.

It may affect work performance, when it comes to company giving performance bonus, we might not get as much or none
