Even farm animals will grow crazy living in overcrowded conditions

When a govt prioritises material progress for too long, the emotional cost shows up in people snapping on the roads, struggling in silence or slipping through the cracks of a fast paced S'pore. It raises a big question about what truly makes a society healthy. The Samaritans of S'pore note worrying pressures among working-class adults, especially those in their 30s, dealing with job instability, family strain, high cost of living, unmet aspirations and mental health challenges. The rise in unnoticed deaths, particularly among the elderly, shows a quiet isolation alongside S'pore's economic success.

More and more S'poreans are feeling this way.

The problem is that S'pore is run like a corporation i.e. the leadership excels at generating wealth, ensuring safety and building infrastructure. However, the corporate framework struggles with all other aspects such as emotional well-being, dealing with burnout and ensuring that those who cannot keep up with this fast pace are not left behind. The problem is that this corporate approach feels like it is reaching its limits in handling the modern social pressures S'poreans are facing today.
