Parliament opposed the measure as un-Asian. Others acknowledged the (2) ______

More others believed it would subvert relations within the family: cyn- (3)______
ics dubbed it the "Sue Your Son" law.

net where this morality proves insufficiently. Singapore needs this bill not to (7)______
replace morality, but providing incentives to shore it up. (8)______
