SINGAPORE: A survey shows Singaporeans are generally happy,
scoring 6.6 on an index of 1 to 10.
43.5 percent of 750 Singaporeans surveyed said family was the
most important contributor to overall happiness, followed by
friends and good health.
On jobs, the survey showed that those in the airline, automobile
and transportation sectors are the happiest people in Singapore,
while those in the arts and entertainment scene scored the lowest
on the SOYJOY Index.
The survey, conducted via face—to—face random interviews, also
found that Singaporeans are generally cheered up by simple things
like eating good food, playing with kids, and listening to
music.
The findings of the survey, conducted by a Japanese
pharmaceutical company, were released on Wednesday. — CNA/ls
