The Return of the Matchmaker

"SINGAPORE: In 10 years’ time, Singaporeans may not remember today’s inflation rate. What will, however, continue to occupy the minds of the Government and citizens: How Singapore can have more babies."

"The Prime Minister recounted the tale of a single man looking for a wife. The man reportedly told a marriage bureau that he wanted a woman who was independent and doing well in her career. What else do you need, asked the marriage bureau? His response: “She must also be absolutely submissive and obedient!” said Mr Lee, to laughter from the audience. “The problem is where to find such women.”

Citing another anecdote of three young Beijing women, he recounted how they told an interviewer they would choose their job over a boyfriend or fiance.

Male or female, young people need to take “a realistic view” towards marriage and find the right balance with their career, said Mr Lee. Otherwise, they might miss out on chances at love and happiness, and the best window to have children."

Lessons in love for teens

"The Social Development Unit (SDU) yesterday called for a public tender for the appointment of an agent to “design, conceptualise, produce, promote and launch a youth relationship programme for tertiary institutes and JCs”. "

"The relationship courses and classes aim to equip our youths with healthy relationship management and negotiation skills, and to inculcate in them positive values towards dating and marriage.” "

*********
I seriously wonder what they meant by "positive values" and "healthy relationship".
Imagine "a dummy's guide to dating" or "Protocol to snag that PERFECT husband/wife"

I do not think it is workable, though its informative. It can only be serve as a guideline and the counsellors should do more follow up instead with INDIVIDUAL cases than have a "one model fits all" approach for everyone.
Cause no one can think like everyone else.
