Housing affordability, high cost of living top residents' gripes in 2015

COE prices are also a key grumble.

Singaporeans are least satisfied with the country's high cost of living, housing affordability, and COE prices.

A report by Blackbox Research revealed that Singaporeans are most dissatisfied with the government's performance on these three issues.

Only 40% of respondents are satisfied with the country's cost of living up 7% from 33% in January 2014.

The percentage of respondents who are satisfied with COE prices and housing affordability remained unchanged at 44% and 51%, respectively.

"Looking ahead, it is apparent that the Government has a balancing act that it will have to manage carefully. With the rising cost of living continuing to be by far the #1 concern of Singaporeans, the Prime Minister and his colleagues enter the country’s 50th anniversary with a new set of challenges on their plate," stated the report.
