Hailed as a milestone for Women in Singapore?!

This is too rare... I had to put it up for you all to see.
Check this out... under the page on milestones for women in Singapore. I'm assuming they are talking about the milestones for women's rights in SG.

1983
Government shapes population policies based on the belief that graduates produce better babies. It announced a Graduate Mothers scheme, which granted privileges to children of graduate mothers. Less-educated, low-income mothers under 30 years of age given $10,000 if they had themselves sterilized after their first or second child.

This is a milestone. This misguided presumption of eugenics is still considered a milestone in the 21st Century?

*note if you still think that graduates produce better babies, this is biologically UNTRUE. It would be another senario if you asked if babies born to graduate parents stand a better chance of having a better education than those born to non-grad parents.
