Only 3 in 10 Singaporeans are very optimistic for the next five years: survey

But they are still wary of challenges.

According to a survey conducted as part of the Our Singapore Conversation (OSC), Singaporeans were generally optimistic that the next five years would be better than today, and that today was better than five years ago.

The majority were satisfied with life and hopeful about the future. But the data suggest that some respondents expect challenges ahead. 

This survey was completed by 4,000 Singaporeans.

It was designed to ascertain the Singapore that Singaporeans hope to see in 2030 and their key priorities for today.

The survey also asked Singaporeans about the values they feel are important for achieving the 2030 vision as well as the preferences they lean towards on key issues.

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.
