SINGAPORE: Muay Thai or kick boxing, which was used to be known as a man's sport, is increasingly being taken up by women in Singapore.

According to a Muay Thai club in Singapore, the number of its female members has doubled in the past year.

Some Muay Thai enthusiasts gather at the Bukit Batok Nature Park every evening to practise the sport.

Many of them said they took up Muay Thai to build up their stamina and for self defence.

Muay Thai coaches said recent movies and TV programmes on Muay Thai have made the sport popular.

Terence Cheah, a coach at Hilltop Muay Thai, said: "A lot of people have the thought that Thai boxing is very rough. But because of the awareness nowadays, girls realise that it's a lot of physical activity. It gives your body a more challenging workout. Hence, a trimmer waist, better but stronger legs."

That is why I have said this all along. This national problem has to be put in proper context and cannot be taken lightly !!

That is why you do not need ROCKET SCIENCE to deduce the reason as to why so many qualified and educated foreigners are "encouraged" to study, work and settle here as citizens and PRs.

The paramount reason is the extremely low birth rate and the increase in the number of aged Singaporeans.

The problems are exerbated by the increase in the rising number of old Singaporean singles and wretched divorcees here.

If the problem is left alone, this TINY red dot will become a GIANT old age home !!

You seem to think that importing foreigners is a SOLUTION.
Which other country is using following the Singapore solution?

It will not fix the long term problem as long as the root cause is still there, one old man at the top.
