Just read an article from 2019 that quotes that "Singaporeans are not only sleep deprived, but they are also among the most stressed at work globally". How is our 2025 looking? Have times changed for the good since then or are we all still overworked, overstressed and underpaid?

Singaporeans tend to complain the most as well

From what I see in the MRT and personal experience, definitely overworked. Culture at workplace to sabotage others in order to rise up the ladder. It leads to immense stress and pressure. Mental health is at risk

I don't know about your industry, but mine is definitely still suffering. I can attest that while some improvements have been made, the trend of being overworked very much still exists. In 2025, I remember reading recently that 61% of employees are experiencing burnout, and feeling stressed several days a week. Maybe by 2030 we can hope for something good?

a new report also says that Singaporeans are second happiest country in Asia.... don't believe everything you read in reports!

i guess more context needed because sleep deprived could also be a result of lifestyle habits like over consuming Youtube before you sleep? or mindless scrolling of ecommerce sites?lack of sleep also leads to poor judgements at work...sounds familiar?:p

I'm starting to grow concerned that so many auditors don't seem to know the difference between the UAE and Palestine, which are entirely different countries.

One constantly is under threat of having land annexed by Israel, but it isn't the one in the peace agreement, and Netanyahu has already said this agreement doesn't alter plans
