Netizens sceptical about proposed ‘marriage and parenthood reset’: ‘How many times we need to reset?’

Many pointed to the challenges of raising multiple children in Singapore, particularly the high costs involved.

“With the current cost of living, people want to adopt pet also scared. What more want to have their own children,” one commenter mused.

However, a netizen described the situation as the “childless leading the blind”, while others urged Ms Indranee to “lead by example”. In an episode of CNA’s The Assembly aired in October 2025, Ms Indranee revealed that she was single and did not have kids.

On Reddit, several users took issue with the “task force” formed to address the issue, claiming the move was “out of touch with the common citizen.”

“It’s hard to have a mindset shift when your baseline reality is just trying to survive the 9-to-6 grind without having a mental breakdown in a mall toilet,” another argued.

Meanwhile, one netizen questioned the repeated calls for change: “How many times we need to reset/reimagine/redefine our views and in such close intervals?”
