I cannot believe the lack of talent in the PAP if the PM says that raising or maintaining population levels is a "global phenomenon" for which no one really knows the reason why, nor does anyone have a solution. I believe that PM Wong is the only person in SG who does not know the reason! The reasons for not having children here are plenty: extremely high cost of living, lack of job security, poor work-life balance, stagnant wages, overpriced and small homes, inability to afford a car etc.
