调查显示,仅次于东京,新加坡成了亚太区最劳碌的东南亚城市。

据悉,该项调查时基于研调公司Kisi的数据所进行,由Instant Offices再度分析。根据Instant Offices调查显示,东京列为榜首,而新加坡紧随其后,第三名则是邻国马来西亚首都吉隆坡。

该调查分析40个国际城市的数据,工作强度评分指标包括通勤时间、上班时间、工时、每周工作的时数以及休假天数。

其中工作时数最长的城市为吉隆坡,约每周46小时左右、而新加坡则位居第二,约每周44.6小时.

此外,东京的通勤时间为51分钟、而新加坡则是44.5分钟;而新加坡的每周上班时间则超过48小时,名列榜首。

比起亚太地区拼搏的精神,澳洲则显得相对悠闲,据结果显示,悉尼与墨尔本的每周工作时数为39.8小时,比起亚太地区的城市更显宽松。

然而,世界快乐报告(World Happiness Report)和世界价值观调查(World Values Survey)的数据曾指出,国人虽然操劳,但其快乐指数却达85.9分,排名第34,比起东京、吉隆坡,分数显得更高。而且我国员工年均放假14天,排名第19 ,虽然不多,但也比吉隆坡和东京来的更多。

在Kisi针对各国工时进行调查时发现,国人每周工作时间逾48小时以上。对此该公司首席执行官Bernhard Mehl认为,“新加坡虽然被认为是非常宜居的城市,但数据表明,国人的压力也不容小觑。”

因此,Bernhard也建议新加坡应该提出更多照顾心理健康的方案,并朔造有利于释放压力的对话空间供国人舒缓个人压力。

Impending S&CC hike for HDB residents, Govt to provide temporary relief

A recent report by the Straits Times highlighted comments from Lim Biow Chuan, coordinating chairman for PAP town councils, suggesting that Housing Board residents can anticipate a rise in Service and Conservancy Charges (S&CC) in the near future. S&CC, which covers expenses such as estate cleaning, landscaping, refuse collection, pest control, and maintenance of mechanical and electrical fixtures like lifts and lights, last saw a rise between $1 and $17 per month, phased over two years, in 2017. Mr Lim noted that town councils are grappling with increased cost pressures due to rising energy prices, maintenance costs, and manpower costs. Energy prices have surged by 23% between 2018 and 2023, while lift maintenance costs have risen because of higher labour and material costs. The implementation of the Progressive Wage Model to uplift low-wage workers has further contributed to increased operational costs for town councils.
