Forced approach

some nitwit of an uncle wrote to st forum with this:

'Introduce legislation requiring singles to participate in at least one fully-subsidised SDU activity.'

MR LIM KENG HIAN: 'We should not overlook another related issue of too many men and women staying unmarried. The number is sizeable and is worth paying more attention to for a more comprehensive solution to boost the birth rates. The Social Development Unit (SDU) can do its part by not just waiting for these singles to register with them; they should be proactive and reach out to them. One way is to ask companies to nominate unmarried singles for their various activities, fully subsidised by the Government. If this does not work, the next step could be the mandatory approach. The SDU could compile a database of unmarried men and women above the age of 26 or older and introduce legislation requiring these singles to participate in at least one fully-subsidised SDU activity.'

i say again - NITWIT.

I do not know whether to be more flabbergasted and angry at such imbeciles, or by the very fact that our national newspaper deems such comments worthy of publication.

The person's comments were amusing in a very painful, shake your head in disbelief sort of way.
