Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has fallen below 1.0
March 5th, 2024 | 
Author: 
Indranee Rajah has disclosed in Parliament that for the first time, our Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has fallen below 1.0 at 0.97, a historical low but she had also added that the pap government is determined to address the challenges lalala... I laughed and laughed when I watched that clip.
As usual, pap ministars are so good at saying all the right things but year after year and even decade after decade, their best and even their steroid best efforts are just Not Enough. Don't believe, stare and swallow our 0.97 TFR!
To those blind and unthinking suckerporeans and hardcore pap supporters who disagree with me, I want to throw our super sorry and extremely embarrassing TFR of 0.97 at their smirking faces.
So, going forward, I wonder if the pap government has decided to suck thumb and quietly surrender reversing our TFR efforts to fate or will its ministars continue to put up a brave front and say things that suckerporeans like to hear in order to comfort, to pacify and to entertain them in their lala land?
I don't know about others but it is very clear to me that the best pap days are over.
Because of our small population, a falling TFR will impact us much more severely than South Korea or Japan for obvious reasons.
And with the liberal importation of foreigners into Singapore to compensate for our native birth rate drop, the fabrics, the familiarity, the level of love, feeling, loyalty and commitment to this little island country that we call home must change and suffer, all thanks to their incompetence and unthinking continuous electoral support of suckerporeans.
The drop and the rot of our TFR is just too deep already. Despite our great national wealth, as far as fighting a resolute TFR decline is concerned, we continue to have a financially very able but super unwilling to do more government.
Think.

Why you laugh and laugh? The proper emotion is disgust and contempt.

No worry, it’s all in the plan. Once the peasant numbers drop too low and cannot prop up the GDP, the lightning will import more FTs to replace the lost ones.
Whether local-born or true-bred not important, as long as GDP and GST stays up.
What do you think?

Even if Singaporeans TFR is 0 it is ok.
Singapore must be friend with the world and we can always make up the numbers by welcoming FT to stay.

Don’t talk dreams lah. Ministers antagonize “ASEAN backyard” neighbors. You die, your problem. When we can pay to make you die, we do it.

Simon Lim answered this question below
“So, going forward, I wonder if the pap government has decided to suck thumb and quietly surrender reversing our TFR efforts to fate”
with this below
“And with the liberal importation of foreigners into Singapore to compensate for our native birth rate drop”
And there is nothing the PAP will do to address the TFR because, you know, it’s too much work to wait for it to rise well above 1 and then having to wait more than 20 years before the young ones are ready to enter the workforce.
Instant solution bring in more aliens who are already in their 20s, can contribute to the workforce immediately with loads of levy being collected. Simple solution massive big win for the monkeys why would they not continue to do so?
And they pofma Dr Chee back then for saying that 10 million remark! HA HA HA!

It is cheaper to employ one foreign nanny to look after 10 babies, than to pay 10 non-graduate women to care for one child full time.
Having own children is different from importing foreigner new citizens. Similarly, having sex with a beautiful woman is different from watching someone else have sex with the beautiful woman.
I have friends who like to quote LKY’s words of wisdom.
Despite LKY’s words, I prefer sex with beautiful woman rather than sex with highly-educated woman. Man is different from woman. Man must erect, in order to procreate. Lubricants does not help man have sex.
I suspect LKY’s words were meant for his wife to hear. Before Mdm Kwa’s death, LKY’s words sounded feminist. After Mdm Kwa’s death, LKY’s words sounded chauvinist.

低生育率就是意味着人口低增长或是人口缩减。
人口缩减如持续下去，那就意味着这群人总有一天会消失。
最后的胜利者就是是那群能够一直狂生猛生的人。世界大同就这样不知不觉中达成。

Maybe “MAKING LOVE” IN SMALL SPACES ,as suggested by another minister,is not helpful after all???
It impedes TFR actually!
Well,it is time to survey also if “NEW CITIZENS” who hailed from “fertile” countries like Philippines or India are just as “infertile” after living and working here in $in City?
Just a passing thought.
Guess they become less fertile too.
TFR IS likely STRESS RELATED.
More $tress ,lower fertility,Period.

We know abortion is the killing of babies or to be babies but it is legal in Singapore. Instead of encouraging people to give birth and have babies, people are given right to kill babies or to be babies. Those aborted babies could be our Singaporean talents and they are killed before being given birth. It is necessary to make abortion illegal to make a stand that Singapore is committed to have babies. Make sure Single mothers get help and support and not discriminate against single mothers. Single mother babies are no lesser beings.
Poor people are not lesser beings and deserve to have child. We know the cost of living is very high now. Everything price is rising and GST and Medishield premium rise is like gang robbing or gang raping people. The government and business increase people cost of living together is discouraging people planning to have babies.
Encouraging more foreigners into Singapore to snatch jobs destroy people job prospect and destroying hope for better future discourage people to have babies. The amount of fund government gave to encourage people to have babies is miserable and show that the government is not committed on having babies.

If you plot a chart with FEELING OF JOB SECURITY ON THE Y-AXIS AND NUMBER OF FTs on the X-axis for SGS,we could easily observe that Feeling of Job Security FALLS with increasing FTs.
That is quite easily hypothesised.
Also,we then plot TFR ON THE Y-axis and the Degree of Feeling of Job Security on X-axis,we could observe TFR FALLS WITH INCREASING DEGREE OF JOB INSECURITY.
Such simple notions and $cholars still cannot get it right?

Amongst my nephews and nieces, those married either don’t have children or stop at one…. rarely two. Same for my younger colleagues….the disconnect between the common people and their leaders is obvious to those with eyes to see.
While the struggling working class lamented about COL and the hardships of raising the next generation, the leaders are scratching their heads and totally clueless.

Birth rate low….Why?
How to have baby when they are all stressed up ?
High COL,no job security,poor pay,no house of their own,inadequate savings ,poor care support for baby if both need to work to survive….
Who is responsible ?
Time for change….problem not going away.

Credit goes to all Singleporeans! for making Life Choices due to:
1. Incessant, astronomical rise in Cost of Living
2. Freedom from family commitments.
3. Sexual preferences.
4. ‘Legalised’ prostitution.
5. Unaffordable housing.
6. Runaway Healthcare costs.
7. Stressful Edusys as early as P1.
8. Childminding problems.
9. Employment and income instability.
10.Expensive dowries/wedding expenditure.
And the list goes on…

@ That is quite easily hypothesised.
Not conclusive.
If use China to plot you probably get worst results even without FTs.

“Clueless” is too lenient.
If I may use a f-word,they are “Fxxxking” Bochup.
How come must take from sgs’ past reserves MEANT for sgs to grant generous furlough to non-sg FTs drawing high salaries?
WHY CAN’T IMPLEMENT WAGE CUTS like in the past when sg-PMETs only had much lower salaries n limited savings to tide over?
Clueless will be giving them excuse.

You are an idiots.
In any hawker centre, there will be 2 stalls selling the same food or beverage. Most commonly seen are 3 coffee stall or 3 rice stall.
The smarter hawker will innovate like 3 vegie and 1 meat = $3 and plus $1 for coffee.
This is business.
Our great PAP knows how to innovate to bring in business. Singapore is now a entertainment centre with more jobs for proactive, hard striving and hard driving Singaporeans.
Nothing for the lazy and unmotivated Singaporeans.
Thanks PAP. We must vote PAP.

Mothers suppose to protect vulnerable to be babies but they instead kill them; it is a cruel thing. We should speak up and stop abortion for these vulnerable to be babies and protect to be babies.
Abortion rights is” play god”, social genetic engineering on the hands of ignorant people, which will lead to disaster. Abortion kill babies or to be babies base on gender, health, potential, wealth, work commitments. Abortion reasons are many but many are selfish and unreasonable. Not letting to be babies to be born and live for materialistic reasons are common. Some choose to prefer males over females. Abortion decision could be made because to be babies are weak, disable or other health reasons. Discrimination against to be babies like because of their fathers could be reasons. Abortion could be done because of career and career prospect. It is full of inequality and injustice. Abortion is social cleansing, should not be supported. Poor people are more likely to choose abortion because money issues and poor families have less children than they could have.
A child is God gift to the mother and family and this could be for a special reason, so people should not play God and choose abortion. Whatever bad it seem, it could be a blessing in disguise. A new life could have an impact on the nation future and change many things. We should not work against fate. But abortion right take them all away and change everything. After given abortion rights, people abort to be babies, a life so easily.
Since babies are so important to Singapore now for many reasons from reversing ageing population, bad prospect of ageing, increase future workforce and talents, economic consumer spending,provide hope for nation, to many reasons; abortion should not be legal to kill to be babies which will increase babies.

Pappies come up with nonsensical comparisons. If Singapore is the hawker stall, who’s TS? Where’s the ban? No sense at all. Typical pappies.

So many times, you exposed yourself as a non-Singaporean.
Time to be honest. Confess. Where are you from?
