Government’s Fault?

The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in Singapore has plummeted from 1.6 in 2000 to 1.23 in 2009. And it’s the Government fault! The Government has made Singapore so safe, that it is okay to stay out late. If it were dangerous to roam the streets at night, then people would stay home after dark. And couples » Read More

For those who got into shotgun marriages, there was the thrill of forbidden fruit spurring them on to have sex. Those who recently got married had » Read More
