It's funny how the govt in Singapore tries to control and subtly orchestrate everything. from (i) mandating the racial quotas across Chinese, Malay, Indian, in each block of public housing; to (ii) only providing huge housing subsidies to couples while discriminating the singles, to (iii) giving out S$70k in baby bonuses (from birth to 17), and (iv) banning vaping while convincing citizens its not an infringement of civil liberties. I mean many policies are smart and I agree with many of them, but there is a line between human freedoms and govt overreach.

and they have not reached anywhere near that line.
Compare this to the land of the free, where ICE police can routinely jack an actual citizen they suspect of being an illegal alien, and face zero consequences. Where the president can declare an illegal tariff with zero consequences.

Singapore is hella small, even Tokyo is bigger. Singapore population is also dense, diverse and it's not surprising they need to plan first before something bad happen

Nobody is obligated to use this service if they don't want to. For those that use a dating app to look for long-term relationships I fail to see how match group apps are better for the average individual and for society.

Those all sound really positive. Banning poison, supporting children, supporting families, encouraging racial diversity rather than segregated blocks.
