In China, successful men often had concubines until the practice was outlawed after the Communist Party of China came to power in 1949. The standard Chinese term translated as "concubine" was qiè 妾, a term used since ancient times. Concubines resembled wives (Chinese: 妻; pinyin: qī) in that they were recognized sexual partners of a male family member and were expected to bear children from him. In English the term concubine is also used for what the Chinese refer to as pínfēi (Chinese: 嬪妃) "consorts of emperors", some of very high rank.[SUP][25][/SUP]
In premodern China, it was illegal and socially disreputable for a man to have more than one wife at a time, but he could have concubines.[SUP][26][/SUP] At first a man could have as many concubines as he could afford, however, from the Eastern Han (25–220 CE) onward, the maximal number of concubines a man could have was limited by law. The higher ranking and the more noble an identity a man possessed, the more concubines he was permitted to have.[SUP][27][/SUP]

Concubinage has a long history in China and was common right up to the early 20th century. Emperors and warlords kept many concubines as well as wives, and the wives sometimes even presented their husbands with fresh concubines, a practice known as "drinking vinegar".
Young women become concubines today for reasons of money and lifestyle, but also as a way out of poverty. "My son is already two years old, and my son's father is the same age as my father," wrote one anonymous 20-year-old concubine. "I call him 'old man'. He treats me well. Since I gave birth to a son, he bought a 180 square metre house under my name and two shops under my son's name. My days are very comfortable. I never ask him about his business and family, nor press him to divorce. A woman's life is hard and her youth goes quickly, so I cherish the present."
If you pause and ponder you have to ask ourselves the question as to why Singapore society should be bound by laws and values systems imposed upon us by our former colonial masters.
The concept of a family unit, one man, one woman producing offspring within the sanctity of marriage is based upon the laws formulated by the Westminster system. These laws are Christocentric guided by the teachings of the bible. How this can be relevant to a predominantly Asian society living in an independent nation should certainly be up for review after more than half a century.
Nature dictates that the successful male should spread his seed far and wide while the meek, mild and defective members of the male species should be denied the opportunity to pass on their inferior sperm.
It is time to resurrect LKY's proposal to end the requirement that marriages be monogamous and explore alternatives which would allow a good degree of leeway when it comes to sexual unions.
A good starting point would be to review the system practiced to by our ancestors. it was outlawed by the communist party despite the fact that Mao was the biggest philanderer of all.

Communism in China is pretty much dead and buried and concubinage is making a return. Singapore should seriously consider following suit.
Nope, it is not good because studies have shown that polygamy is detrimental to women. Women will have to fight over the men's resources. Children of the 2nd and subsequent wives fight over the man's resources and it is the children that suffer.
And when there are many single unmarried males out there, it usually spells trouble. Just look at the Taiping rebellion.
