During the National Day festivities last month, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's gloomy prognosis for the economy-a "bumpy year" ahead-was over-shadowed by even more dire warnings that the city state is about to start running low on its main resource, people. With an aging society and one of the lowest fertility rates in the world at 1.29, the government is pulling out all the stops, doubling the budget of baby-making incentives to $1.13 billion. Meanwhile, in order to make Singapore a more tolerant and pluralistic place, political videos will be allowed, as well as protests in a downtown park.
