The stupid concept that I can have 10 kids and solve this national problem is absurd.
It has to be resolved at the policy level because it is a nation wide problem.
Just telling people to have children without removing the obstacles will not work

That's the basic requirement. Aso need to contribute economically and for population growth (else need to import foreigners as ah butt has been pointing out many times)

Our leaders have to reduce the resident population by 1/2 i.e. 3 million. If our tiny island is overcrowded and everything is so damn expensive, no S'porean in his/her right mind will want to bring children into the most expensive city in the world.

Contrary to what Josephine Teo claims, it has to do with having enough space!

The PAP's Great U-Turn. Even in the 1970s, we knew this tiny island cannot hold so many people!

The gov needs to bring in Taylor swift to spread the message of having more babies. I believe it will work...

I plan to have children once I can afford to start a family and raise children . Right now I do not have the means.
Even if I have children i will not have teh ability to push up singaoore fertility significantly as the problem requires changes jn govt policy.

However when I changed the word from Malays ...to S'poreans ...it suddenly make sense.
There are 2 reasons for this risk
1. Singaporeans have one of the lowest birth rates in the world.
2. Singapore imports more immigrants per capita than other countries.
Combining the 2 factors the % of Singaporeans will shrink until very small. While extinction is absolute, we become as good as extinct when there are very few long term Singaooreans around us.
Local born singaporeans always sabo local born singaporeans at work. How not to become extinct?
