Nowadays, raising kids are so expensive.
Face with exorbitant cost of raising kids, no guarantee for jobs for people - no wonder people has not much incentives to raise kids - leading to primary school merge, jc merge, poly got lesser students.
Now end up with more migrants.......

Those who don't mind to pay = pay more lor.
Those who have wisdom - will go for the housebrand - will pay less.
The end result, the kids are equally good while one pay less for it, and others pay more for it.

If everyone start eating cheap milk powder eg. Dumex dulac - $18.50 ---- guarantee many expensive milk powder will drop their price to near $20.
If you buy expensive milk - cheap milk powder don't buy, of course all suppliers will raise their price and say their milk powder good for your babies - because so expensive mah.
So consumers instead of being smart, become stupid - kenna fleece still so happy to pay.

Today i deliberately walk over to the baby milk powder section in an NTUC to look at the prices.
I was looking at a price that I thought was $20.60 and $13.00. On closer look, i almost topple over when i noticed that it was $206 and $130 per tin.
I could not find the Dumex Dulac that cost $18.50. The cheapest was $35 Dumex Dulgro.
I begin to wonder whether nowadays the milk powder is it make of gold or diamond or the tin is make up of gold or diamond.
Or if the baby drink this type of milk, can be as strong as superman or can be as smart as Einstein - guarantee to score straight As.
Singaporeans kenna fleece by milk suppliers to such an extent - my goodness.
How to raise chidlren giving such an expensive high cost of maintenance and no job guarantee in the future?

SINGAPORE: NTUC FairPrice announced on Sunday (May 21) that it is giving up to S$100 worth of baby and family-related products to families with newborn babies over the next three years.
A media release stated that the FairPrice FairMily Kit will be available to all Singapore citizen babies born between January 2016 and December 2019. "The scheme is anticipated to benefit 35,000 babies per year," it added.
The S$14 million initiative is part of the NTUC Good Start Bundle launched in April, which also includes NTUC Income's complimentary health insurance coverage for newborns. Eligible parents can visit www.ntucgoodstart.sg to sign up for their kit.
NTUC secretary-general Chan Chun Sing, who is also Minister in the Prime Minister's Office, said at the family event where the launch was announced that the scheme complements community efforts to better engage with and support families with newborns.
"(The initiative) is aligned to the vision of creating a more pro-family environment where marriage and parenthood are enjoyable and celebrated in Singapore," he said.
Said FairPrice CEO Seah Kian Peng: "The new FairPrice FairMily Kit serves to share the joy with parents and celebrate the birth of all new Singaporean babies within the community.
"At the same time, we recognise that milk powder prices have been rising and we want to do our part to help alleviate some of the costs with this kit.”
In its release, FairPrice also announced it will be making available "better value milk powder" products before the end of June, adding that more details will be released closer to the date.
The move comes after the Government's call to review import requirements to address the rising prices of milk powder in Singapore.
