Nannying

Let's chalk another up under the crazy Singapore file. Don't have kids because you want to. No should have them because it is your duty. Try this:

'Procreation is not only the duty of everyone, but also the responsibility of every citizen towards his family, parents, society and country.'
Honey, we've gotta do it to be patriotic. It's not that I want kids, but "ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country."

I loved the first line, which starts:

"Carrots alone won't work..."

Yes, well.

Sounds very pathetic indeed, especially the part when they try to use Chinese values to emphasise the need to procreate. It's ineffective because of a multicultural society and modern mindset amongst the fertile population.
