Find out what Singaporeans are wishing for the country in the next 20 years

Job security, healthcare, and housing are top priorities.

According to a survey by Our Singapore Conversation, respondents were invited to think about the kind of Singapore they want to see in 20 years’ time as well as their priorities for today. Job security, healthcare, and housing emerged as the priorities most frequently ranked in the Top 3.

This was followed by safety and security as well as having a caring government.

Delving deeper, the data showed that respondents’ priorities varied by income. While healthcare, housing and jobs were generally a consistent theme across almost all income groups, public housing did not emerge as a top priority for those earning above $7,000.

Public transport emerged as a key priority for those earning less than $3,000; while a holistic education was a greater priority for those earning above $7,000.

Singaporeans valued good governance. Those earning less than $7,000 placed greater emphasis on having a caring government while those earning more than $7,000 gave greater priority to having an honest government.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
