Singaporeans are very practical.
Instead of wasting time with White Paper and another taskforce just do the practical thing. It's all about money right now.
Offer $1000 every month to a kid until he reaches 16 years old. Money stops if the kid drops out of school. Only local approved institutions allowed.
Full subsidy for school fees up to tertiary level.
Up to 75% subsidy for childcare up to $300.
That's all for a start. It's a lot of money but that's all Singapore has.
You will have extra 5000-10000 births yearly at least.
If government doesn't do it then its cos they want instant citizens right now plus all the advantages of a higher immediate population.
