The happiness of a people is not increased or reduced by comparing it to another country. It does not make an unhappy person happy by just asking him to look at a person who is worse off. Each country and its people have their own unique circumstances. The government should find out what makes a citizen unhappy and try to find a solution to it.
For example, people are unhappy about housing. Why are they unhappy? This is because the price is ridiculously high. While it benefits the government to have high property prices, it is depriving the younger Singaporeans the chance to own a home and it also makes life expensive for everyone. When high property prices push up rentals, the business costs must be reflected in the goods and services and must ultimately be passed on to the consumers.
