Baby Blues
It’s once again National Day. I love watching the rally. I noticed that recently the rally never fails to evolve around the topic of baby bonus. I have nothing much against it; just that I don’t get to enjoy such privileges. All these perks are for babies born within wedlock.
I always feel it is unfair. Is it to say that babies born out of wedlock are not humans? And eventually when these baby boys grow up they are not require to serve national service? Or these kids will not be contributing to the country economy?
Maybe extending the baby bonus to single mother will send a wrong message to the public. Nevertheless, I strongly believe there are ways and means to explore this matter and not just a total rejection. It’s like slamming the door right on single mums’ face. In addition, tax relief may come into the picture.
Think it is high time Government re-look and re-address this issue. How hard they try to ignore it, it is still going to be there. It will not just disappear into the think air over time.
