Money won't solve low birth rate problem -- Mr Lee

Yet another excerpt from LKY's latest book -- to be launched today! Note his views on the low fertility rate here, and the supposed vs the REAL reasons behind it. Note also the comparison with Japan, esp regarding the attitude towards foreign talent/immigrants.
Whenever  tackling a qn about 'your society', whether in essay or AQ, obviously you want to confine your discussion to just your society. But recognise that you can make references to OTHER countries if ur aim is to do a comparison/contrast in order to make a point about Singapore. Eg, if you want to make the point that it is imperative for Singapore to embrace foreign talent, mention how Japan is allegedly going into decline because it is not welcoming towards foreigners. (This is technique of contrast using an inferior alternative).
