hello@thesmartlocal.com
as the only child and only grandchild on my father's side, the fate of my bloodline lies on my hand. And I'll probably end it.
interesting how the crew get to ask individuals from various age group. actually love the new host approach! the interviewees have got more screen time and we can hear their opinions
i'm amazed so many people willing to be interviewed UNDER THE SCORCHING HOT SUN! why not chit chat under shades lah - if faint how?
all say want kids but birthrate still decreasing 🤣 quite interesting tho, I tot majority will say dw. Nubbad anw the qns very straight to the point & new host quite pretty 😋
💯 same sentiments!
Most people would want kids, just that cost of living really too high in Singapore man.
Pretty host jiejie 😚
surprised at the responses too! also nice to see new hosts~
Agreed!
The background music is too loud n unnecessary.
4:17 bro's 37?! With 2 kids some more? Dang.....
this fella is actor lai de...
Love this video. Keep it up!
The vibe~ is a bit off leh haha. This felt like a job interview or survey, rather than a street interview. The previous male host felt more natural~ and comfortable.
ok la dont so anal hahaha
Yeah, I prefer him. This felt too formal and people answered in a less open manner as a result :c
Her vibes is the "Ch5 reporter on the streets" kind😮😮
Yeahhh, felt too serious
Sry but i think not enough credit/responsibility goes to the PDs, the previous Hot Takes had more experienced ppl like Sew and Cuiwen. I believe they would have stepped in to guide Selina and change the interview direction and flow
I think the vibe of the interview is pretty enjoyable 😃
The choice of where this interview took place is interesting given that the lowest age here seemed to be in the upper 20s! Most people I've talked to (more so the older Gen Zs) have vastly different opinions on having kids
Love the content & loving the host & topics too!!
It's a real & sad thing about young married couple don't want to have kids hence the low born rates in singapore..
The last interviewee was Irene Ang? lol
This phenomenon is common in other Asian countries as well, such as Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, China, and Hong Kong (and others), and there seems to be increasing preference for dogs and cats or other pets too.
Juggling both work and care taking is what is tough about parenting. It doesn't take so much to raise a kid.
Your employers expect the same from a mother with kids and someone with no children.
My joy is whenever my kids burst through the door returning home,hello mommy I am home..., did you miss me ?❤ 😂 another whenever I hear the keys . I would expect what did you cook?😂😂
Every one just looks at their phone n iPad even kids. I don’t think it’s a good thing to have kids in this century.
I'm surprised that the following isn't raised often in this video: One reason some Singaporeans may not want to have a kid(s) is that there's not much to life in Singapore beyond the standard path of study, work, retire, and that there are limited things to do beyond work. Even when we talk about work, most people are presented with quite a limited range of career pathways. For example, what if the person has a strong inclination towards the arts or sports? Only the privileged are able to move abroad to pursue these interests and lead a dignified life.
On that note, it's one thing to want to experience the joy of parenting - nothing wrong with that in itself. But it's also important to consider the wants and needs of the child... otherwise, it does come across as a rather selfish endeavor.
Makes me curious why they say singaporean education is much better
I've heard i lot of complaints of the education system, but it seems overall compared the countries sg is still btr?
Here KPKP say last year our birth rate r low.. n forigen PR n New citizens becoming a Singaporeans help replacing our birthrate including their newly Singapore citizens family n spouse this we cannot denied or dun want..
Very strange that one of the questions phrased was “are there any joy in having kids?” Close ended and also a bit lame bcuz those asked this qn are parents, of course there is joy! A better way to phrase is What’s the best thing about having kids…
The host asked many leading questions. Not objective interviews at all
typical SPG who loves AMDKs. what's new. lol.
meaningful video
That guy in black is an actor. So all of them are choose beforehand for interviews, not roadside people
❤❤❤❤ well done 💯
First interviewee was really patriotic. Why no partner yet?
Quite boring interview… stop halfway
Please ask open ended questions rather than yes/no…
Like… instead of any joy having a kid, ask what are the joy of having a kid
And can change the questions, don’t need to stick to the script. Very repetitive and yawns
Past hot take all ask the same set of qns leh I believe hosts are given a script to ask same qns
The reason is simple , very expensive to bring up children today
And leave all to yourself...
Because statistics shows that the more the women of a nation focus on careers the more the fertility rate of a country going down tremendously.
the rich pap can give birth to 10 sons - 100 sons
If I can afford to give my kid a happy family, then yes.
Not easy lah. I can see some family who are happy initially... Then their parents lost their job. Jialat
Metropolitan cities have trends from 1990s to 2010s. Behavioural science of office-elevator-lifts to high-density residential apartments, ... Different trend charting from farmers and villagers and small cities.
It is expensive for 1. Remittance level of play for most. Hub level of logistics. And juvenile politicians with their imbeciles-social being obvious...
Standard response - You siao-ah.?!
Is the female host same as anything能 female host?
I love kids but is not easy. You need money
S'poreans are making a lot of money from high-paying jobs, thanks to the PAP govt for making this possible.❤❤
nothing relevant, but the lighting is awful.. cant really see the host and guests' faces
"reliable, committed partner" - got money la and simp easy to control.
