SINGAPORE - An overwhelming majority of around 95 per cent of Singapore residents are keen on laws and enforcement when it comes to public hygiene in places such as childcare centres, eateries and malls.

Unlike the previous two editions of the survey conducted between October 2016 and March 2017, and from August to December 2018, this wave included an additional component regarding public hygiene. Respondents also wanted building operators to be made responsible for the public hygiene of their buildings.

Both Professor Paulin Tay Straughan, SMU's dean of students and professor of sociology , and Dr Mathew Mathews, senior research fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies at the National University of Singapore, who led the survey together, agreed that the ramping up of cleaning efforts due to the Covid-19 pandemic may have led to the increase in satisfaction levels.

Despite the overall satisfaction, 23 per cent of respondents noted that the thoroughness of the cleaning in hawker centres and coffee shops was still insufficient.
