4 in 5 Singaporeans prioritise health over wealth

61% viewed health as the foundation for pursuing life goals.

More than four in five (85%) of Singaporeans prioritise health over wealth, according to a survey by Prudential which polled 1,000 residents.

61% view health as the foundation for pursuing life goals whilst 63% say it is more attainable than wealth. 

In contrast, less than one in five prioritise wealth over health. 64% believe that money solves problems, including health issues, and 51% believe it takes less effort to acquire. 

Most (77%) agree they can achieve both by a structured plan (61%) and success in one area will lead to another (56%).

Beyond personal efforts, the respondents recognised the importance of key stakeholders’ support. 72% seek flexible working hours from employers whilst 60% hope the government implements healthy work-life balance policies. 53% appreciate financial incentives and flexible health coverage options from insurers.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
