Modern urban societies also just do not need so many children. In backward countries, infant mortality rate is high so people make lots of babies to hedge their bets ('diversify their investments') so that at least a few can survive till adulthood. They also need plenty of kids to help out at the farms and labour-intensive businesses etc.
What the PAP govt is doing now, is blaming the people for not breeding more well in advance so that it can get plausible deniability should the economy go tits up in future.
