Singaporeans are the least likely in the world to report experiencing emotions of any kind on a daily basis. The 36% who report feeling either positive or negative emotions is the lowest in the world. That is to say, Singaporeans are unlikely to report feelings of anger, physical pain, or other negative emotions. They’re not laughing a lot, either:
.
Filipinos, on the other hand, are the most emotional, with six in 10 saying they experience a lot of these feelings daily:
Gallup measures “daily emotions” in more than 150 countries and areas by asking residents whether they experienced five positive and five negative emotions a lot the previous day. Negative experiences include anger, stress, sadness, physical pain, and worry. Positive emotions include feeling well-rested, being treated with respect, enjoyment, smiling and laughing a lot, and learning or doing something interesting.
Gallup’s Jon Clifton said, “If you measure Singapore by the traditional indicators, they look like one of the best-run countries in the world but if you look at everything that makes life worth living, they’re not doing so well.”
Singapore’s economy almost doubled in the past 10 years with per-capita GDP hitting US$33,530. The residents work 46.6 hours a week, the longest hours in the world, according to the ILO. And only 2% of the country’s workforce describe themselves as engaged by their jobs, according to a Bloomberg report (global average is 11%).
The research shows that the solutions to improve positive emotions or decrease negative emotions do not necessarily go beyond higher incomes or lower unemployment rates.

“l am an expat living in Singapore, and have to contend daily with a people for whom being po-faced, humorless, self-absorbed and ungracious, preferably all at once, is now a national pastime.
As an economic experiment, Singapore has surpassed itself and deserves to enjoy the spoils – the riches, the stability, the gleaming skyscrapers. But make no mistake, the costs have been dear. The pressure to succeed, the need to outperform, and the penalties of failure haunt the people of Singapore.
Children as young as three attend ‘enrichment classes’ (aka extra maths or science) just to secure places at decent primary schools; drivers, who pay more than any other nation on earth for the privilege of owning a car, don’t give way for fear that they “lose face”; commuters, with their eyes glued to their iPads and iPhones, barely acknowledge the presence of their fellow travelers on the metro, still less apologise if they happen to brush against one another; shop assistants don’t even bother with the most basic courtesies. “What you want?” is the second most common refrain heard in Singapore. And the first? “How much you pay, uh?” This truly is the country which knows the price…”
