At first, without understanding the background of the story, it seems somewhat bizarre,
but after reading the links provide by Ideice Lance {thankyou I L !}
it's actually a beautiful act of compassion that the daughter-in-law did for her elderly Mother-in-law who had no teeth and could not chew and was weakened and malnourished as a result.
The Daughter-in-law was so moved by her plight that she took it upon herself to feed her from her own Breast in order that the Old Woman may thrive.
Once you get past the the Western mind's initial interpretation of the Breast as a "Sex" object, you can realize the profound act of giving being depicted here.
Yay for the Mammary glands, Nurturers of Life !

Still, maybe she could invest in a pump.

Thank you so much, ideice lance for clearing the air! I understand Singapore Tourism Board is updating some existing storyboards and will also install additional ones in the first quater of 2009.( travel.asiaone.com/Travel/News/Story/A1Story20081020-9491... I will try to contact them and see whether is there any way this misinterpretation could be rectified.
Something to share, though not relevant to any of these discussion:
"Our existence is a miracle, in order for us to exists, to live, to pass by each day, we need so many conditions, so many things to support our existance, our body. To be able to survive a day is by itself something we should be greatful for and appreciate. When everyone has given up hope on you and your existence, still be greatful that our body, our organs, have not given up hope on you. Live each day as if it is your last day. Every day is going to be a new experience. Enjoy every moment"
