Welfare state is a bad idea.
Just look at the welfare states around the world.
Once the money runs out there is financial disarray.
What we need is sustainable social programmes taking care of main aspects of life
1. Medical care - universal and affordable.
2. Retirement
3. Education especially access to university. Nobody should be denied due to lack of $$ every child should be train to fullest potential.
4. Keep cost of living low.
A govt should be focused on the above 4 aspects of living that affects everyone.

"Welfare" is a taboo word in Singapore. Any initiative to raise child birth needs to be bold without resembling a welfare state initiative. Don't expect the govt to raise your kid for you.

Welfare can encourage laziness. E.g why I need to wake up early get to work if I can wait for monies to come to me without doing anything? I can pretend to go look for job but purposely flunk the interview etc because I know I will be fed by government and stupid ppl who go and work.

welfare can be creative.
like for every baby born give families additional chance and discount to move into bigger HDB flats
free primary education
if cannot reduce work hour for everyone , implement additional public holiday.
Anyway ii may a bit too late as Spore is increasing hard to defend.
