Feedback from Union with regards to the ProBaby

I receive an email from Union with regards to a survey to be done. As a passionate Singaporean, i oblige and happily do the survey. However i find the survey is only categorizing the needs and it attempts to separate Singles and Married personnel with only few options available. In other words it is doing a survey and base on the options available tilting towards the objective of what the Government wants to do. Not asking the people's thoughts of it.

I propose that there should be a blue print and Singaporeans need to know the PROS and CONS of it so that they themselves make a decision. From the blue print of the Government, a frame work of it. Let there be a debate or ideas to challenge the blue print and frame work and fine tune it to suit 90% of the population needs. This can in the form of debate for representatives in category of

1. low income / low education
2. low income / high education
3. middle income / low education
4. middle income / high education
5. high income / low education
6. high income / high education

It may not be perfect but at least there's a platform to start. Start from small and slowly fine tune on it. If it is too complicated and challenging, people would just ignore and treat it as another one of the gimmicks.

In order for everyone to participate. I would think that the blue print have to be printed out and send to every household. Give people channels to offer their ideas and offer them publicity to challenge the blue print. Get people to be motivated and fired up to participate in the policy.  Mass marketing campaign is a must for this to succeed as people need to be constantly reminded and steer towards the right direction.

How to get people fired up and motivated. Get the PA involve in doing rounds and a personal touch to the people living in the constituency. Show them the passion and people will get ignited. Once the ignition is started, the passion of fire need to be kept constantly alive. Creating the habit takes time (making more babies) Incentives and Rewards would come in handy in order for the habit to slowly take root. Over time it will become a habit and people will get addicted to having babies.
