huh?!

10:00 AM
extract from 2004 National Day Rally Speech 2004:

(the issue being Singaporeans not having enough children)

...the reason why young people don't get married...is they are simply too busy. they are working. no time to go out, socialise, make friends. married couples also need good work life balance. i am not sure why, but hours have become longer, the pace is more intense. maybe it's the internet, maybe it's email, maybe its globalisation, but whatever it is, you wake up at 6 in the morning, you check your mail. eleven at night, before you go to sleep, you check it again, and the next morning, you come back and somebody has replied. how to have children?

hmmm.

so. singaporeans are not having sex, because of the internet, because of globalisation, because they check their email? this doesn't make any sense. seriously, this has to be the most spurious claim i've ever read. there are sooo many other reasons as to why people are single (confessions of 300 unmarried men hahahaa. hilarious) and why they don't have children. -shakes head-

and then, you stress that we must work harder, be more productive at our jobs, do our best, contribute to the economy, work our asses off...and now have sex too? isn't that just far too much of you to ask us to do? it's too tiring. lol.

maybe the dbs ladies card slogan can be used for Singapore's new tourist gimmick: the men don't get it. hah.
