Residency #17 – Kerry Cheah – February 2020

National Service

Singapore, our benevolent nanny, wants us to have more children.

Can this national imperative really be cracked open via national directive?

What societal norms stand in the way? Is having more children naturally at odds with women reclaiming the definition of femininity?

And quite frankly:  is any of this the country’s business?
