Singapore Government Funds Online Dating Websites
Mar 17th, 2008 by Charles
I noticed that many friends of mine, who are above 30, are still eligible bachelors and spinsters. And I was asking them the real reason to remain single, they say that they have no plans to be bonded in marriage. They are all making lots of money, and they don’t find the urge to get married.
If I am not wrong, Singapore government has been encouraging people to go for dating for quite a while already. And it indeed has some effects on my age range of between 20 and 30. Many friends who are around my age are already getting married and having children. I can’t imagine looking at them with their kids when we had lots of fun playing together when we were still kids ourselves. Time has come for us to look at ourselves with our own kids. I had just attended a friend’s 1st month baby at her house yesterday. Here’s the photo of us at her house with her and her baby. Watch how she made her baby sit in front to smile at the camera… Notice the 1-month-old baby sticking out his tongue… 
I am the second one from the left, standing behind.
Online dating website has been a real hot topic and it should be a good social website to start as a business for those of you who are interested. You should be looking at it if you are from some event company or wanting to start out an internet business. Ask me out to be your consultant if you are interested. 
Now that there is some fundings for the website, there must have some opportunity for us as Internet Marketers. For those of you who had not tried internet business, it might be a good idea not to waste so much money yet because I personally feel that Internet business is all about trial and error, which means it is advisable for you to have some experience with it first. Or you might get into trouble if you are not sure how to go about doing the internet business with money invested in you.
Thank you so much for sharing this! I have heard about this incentive to have children in Singapore, but never first-hand. Thanks again! Very interesting!
ha.. imagine a country paying for your dating services.. boggles my mind!
Haha… Becky, you are right! It’s quite funny for a country is even thinking of taking care of our dating arena too…
Here we see an irony. Less developed countries have babies born in a lightning speed rate while in progressive countries such as Singapore, people are not so keen on making babies. The same thing is happening in Japan and in wealthy European states.
Haha, I am amused.
Australia also has populatiion density issues, they give a bonus for babies, like $5,000K or so - but have not yet started funding dating sites. I find that amusing.
