Singapore has just been named the 6th Blue Zone in the world. This means that Singapore is regarded as one of the cities with the highest life expectancy across the globe.

Singapore was added to the list in August by Dan Buettner, an American National Geographic Fellow and New York Times-bestselling author who has been studying the world's Blue Zones for over two decades. Blue Zones are essentially regions where their elderly inhabitants thrive with remarkable vitality and achieve exceptional longevity. Other Blue Zone countries are Okinawa (Japan), Ikaria (Greece), Sardinia (Italy) Nicoya (Costa Rica) and Loma Linda, (California).

Singapore boasts one of the world's highest life expectancies. According to the Singapore Department of Statistics in 2022, the average life expectancy stands at 80 years for males and 85 years for females. This represents a substantial improvement from the year 1980 when the average life expectancy for Singaporeans was 72 years. The United Nations anticipates that by 2023, the average life expectancy in Singapore will further increase to 84 years.

It is said that the notable increase in life expectancy in Singapore can be attributed to several factors, including the expansion and advancement of the country's healthcare system, as well as improved living conditions encompassing better housing and nutrition. These factors have collectively contributed to the significant improvement in the overall health and well-being of the population, leading to longer and healthier lives for its residents

Let's see:

1. Life Expectancy: #4 (excluding principalities and SEZ) ✓

2. World Happiness Report: #25 ✗

3. Quality of end-of-life-care: #23 ✗

4. Health care: #14 ✗

Apart from life expectancy, we fare miserably in the other health and social indicators.

Blue zone my foot. We're just a nation of aging, unhappy and unhealthy people.

Given the high cost of living and the government's disdain against welfarism, it might well be a curse.

Use so much plastic, almost zero recycling policy, no EV infrastructure, no organic food categorisation, sound pollution went through roof (but nobody mention)

....because many commit suicide so taken out of statistics

We're in blue zone because "ai si bay si" (want to die but cannot die). Our singhealth is keeping us alive, barely alive, with regular appointments so they can dump plenty of meds on us, make a consistent profit off us, and prolong our miserable lives. In the process make the pap very happy.
