Singaporeans tagged as Asia's happiest people

Guess which countries followed next.

According to Eden Strategy Institute's happiness index, Singapore tops the list despite a looming perception of dissatisfaction over rising costs of living, recent infrastructure breakdowns, and the style of governance in the mass media.

Any such negative sentiment appears to be voiced by a vocal minority, while the majority of Singaporeans continue to build on the Singaporean dream of self-actualisation, meritocracy, safety, and efficiency in society.

While Singaporeans can be reticent, they are particularly vocal during festive periods and special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries, and express their encouragement for each other especially among the youth.

Singaporeans love to send funny pictures or pictures of food, as a means of reaching out and sharing.

Singapore scored 518 in the index as Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia, and India each scored 245, 90, 29, and 11 respectively.

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.
