Height

Zethan is 85cm tall and 11.6kg recorded during the last trip to PD for his MMR. Speaking of which, we have sailed past the 2 weeks incubation period of post jab symptoms of fever or rashes. Phews.

Back to topic, most of the guide as to whether a child needs to pay or not is majority based on height. Say for example, ticket in a cinema ~ 90cm, fares on MRT / Bus ~ 90cm (that's if I am right cos I am clueless here since we don't often take public transport) and the list goes on.

I wonder if the relevant corporation and authority might just think about reviewing into the height limitation that is currently in use at this moment. I mean come on, most children these days are well fed with parents in this mondern era well informed and concerned with their children's diet and food consumption etc. Take a look around and it is not difficult to identify that it is very likely that before even the child turns 2 years old, they would have exceed the stipulated height. In fact Zethan's buddies Cayden and Jon are fast approaching or rather exceeding the height when they are like only 21 months old now. It is ridiculous that young toddlers would have to pay for fares or tickets to get in the cinema.

Of course for profiteering issues, who would have bothered to do any adjustments or review.
