A Singapore statutory board has launched a pilot programme called FirstDate, a government-run matchmaking service for public officers aged 21 to 35. The service uses an algorithm to pair participants and does away with the swipe-based format typical of commercial dating apps. People are sharing and debating the news, with reactions ranging from amusement to questions about the state playing matchmaker for civil servants.
Why now: A government body stepping into dating is unusual and invites both curiosity and debate about state involvement in private life.
