Gallup is using another indicator to measure people's well-being since gdp is highly misleading. For many more countries see: Gallup's results showing countries around the world in their poll from 2005 - 2009.
Gallup's poll grouped the countries according to regions.
In Asia Pacific region, S'pore scored around the same as Thailand-> S'pore's ministers are way overpaid to deliver such 'fantastic' results. Oh by the way where is Turkmenistan on the map? Let me look it up & improve my geography......
Since S'pore's ministers are way overpaid & claim they are world-class, let's see how S'pore measures against other 1st world nations.
European countries with 50%+ Thriving. Oh gosh look at Norway with 0% suffering!!! Nordic countries are tops! Even Switzerland which WAS S'pore's role model is already 3 times more thriving population than sinkies.
Americas countries with 50%+ Thriving:
S'pore is more like these 3 African countries. How come 75% of sinkies are struggling, 6% suffering like these africans despite what the govt controlled mainstream media likes to boast about gdp up up up?
Is now 2012. Poll results are aggregated from 2005-2009 so i reckon S'pore now has even more % struggling (me included) & suffering.
Instead of pegging their ministerial salaries to gdp growing like cancer, it ought to be pegged to sinkies' well being according to aggregated results of outside independent polls.

Thank you for the excellent comparative information! I hope the 60% wakes up and smell the shit that has been around for years now. It is indeed strange that only 19% are thriving, and 40% of the struggling would continue to vote in the political party forces them struggle on for life.
