Contradicting government policies

There are many of them. One of them is the government encouragement for Singaporean to have more babies. I wondered how they can have more babies when flat prices are expensive even for a graduate couple. Then there is childcare that cost $1,000 per month which is easily half of a graduate salary. Another is government wanted to reduce traffic jam by placing ERP along roads. The key question is why create this problem by issuing so many COEs to Singaporean. The government encouraged senior citizens to work till 60s but they took jobs away by attracting foreigners here. I find it strange that the government has acted this way. The government encouraged ex-convicts to work and yet I suspect many HR managers in government sectors will reject these ex-convicts.
