I agree to a large extent that Singapore is a family friendly society. Being a family-friendly society, it means to have taken family into considerations in the public which allows convenience for families especially with young children. One example is that in almost all shopping centres’ toilets, there are children toilets, baby changing and feeding room and even a small boy cubical in a female toilet. These create much convenience for mothers to bring their young kids out as they do not have to worry about their children when they want to visit the restaurant . In some cases, there are in childcare centres in malls that allow mothers to shop and relax in ease as they know that their children are in good hands. These environments help to promote Singapore to be a family-friendly society. Not only had the environment, Singapore also organized various family activities to build cohesive family bond. However, there should be a limit to what the socity provides for families to prevent families from treating public places as their homes.
