Stop taking away the green, please. Seems like every available piece of land are up for tender and residential development project. :gloomy:

agree... this is my severe gripe. the U*A seem to have a KPI to make sure every piece of \"old thing\" is taken away and redeveloped. As if it is such an sore eye :rant:

:rotflmao: this is another one - tearing down 'old things'. If this continues, we will never have anything that is of historical value.

Whenever I am in Europe, I never fail to be in awe that, \"oh, this church is 700+ years old!\" or \"ah, that bridge is 300+ years old!\"

How many buildings/churches/temples/bridges/roads/whatever do we have in Singapore that is at least 80 years old? okok, 50 years old leh?

I am simply aghast when I read the blame being laid at the g'ments feet for what is essentially a personal decision.

\"Price to parent in Singapore is simply overly high!\"

Seriously??

Who's the one measuring ROI?

You are writing out of context. Here we are saying that ROI is measure by the govt for success and the price for upbringing children is overly high compared to other nations like Finland etc.
'Seriously?' probably you dont pay much for your children that is why.

Talk about the conservation of red roof buildings in Singapore. I hardly see \"old things\" conserved to give way to highways roads etc. Here again, the govt measures conservation by ROI

It is a seriously problem. Our pace of progress is just too fast and everyone feared that our children be left behind. All these pressure and anxiety makes one wonder if they want parenthood. I have eaten all my words about not concerning about the social norm. Today all my 3 gals attend montessori plus attending enrichments. KS mindset lah. This mindset very difficult to reversed. Even if all expenses taken care off, the kids still need your TIME and ATTENTION. Now how to manage that? Only have 24 hours/day. i have to give my time to 3 kids and my wife. Shiong!!!

Precisely !!! Teachers teach less and expect the children to learn more from their tutors ! Non-gep teachers complain they are given the \"privilege\" to teach bigger class size.

Were our parents ever more KS than us? Sometimes i envy them as they are spared from the agony and anxiety state we have become in our chase for faster page of progress ! The fear of lagging behind ... ... :stompfeet:
