Chucs75 Neutral Newbie February 5, 2009 Share February 5, 2009 http://business.asiaone.com/Business/News/...205-119480.html NMP questions benefits of 5-day work week Thu, Feb 05, 2009 The Straits Times MORE free time did not result in more babies, so people should go back to work on Saturdays. Yesterday, Nominated MP Loo Choon Yong threw up the most provocative suggestion so far when he questioned the benefits of the five-day work week. Speaking on the second day of the debate on the Budget Statement, he said the move by the public and private sectors in 2004 could have eroded Singaporeans' work ethic, while not improving the fertility rate in any meaningful way.

People link babies with cost, definitely not because whether he has 1 day or two day rest. And now with retrenchment going on, he still wants another day??? For what?? Is he align with the situation outside or not? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will_I_Am 2nd Gear February 5, 2009 Share February 5, 2009 The idea behind a 5 days work week is to promote family bonding and not to stay home to bonk. If they need babies so badly, then they could have better innovations like polygamy (allowing more than 1 wife) or polyandry (more than 1 husband).
