Netizen asks what are the things that need to improve in Singapore

u/Xingjiangpore shared in r/askSingapore the two areas of life in Singapore that need to improve.

The user stated: “Housing affordability.. Some surveys a while back said SG has overtaken HK for the most expensive housing in the world and also we rank equal with New York for the most expensive rents. But we are not paid new york wages. Even getting a 3/4 room flat in a non mature estate needs a 25 year loan on a combined income.”

“Working culture.. Long hours, high stress, highly competitive and most unhappy employees on the planet,” he added.One user commented on the need for a medical certificate for employees to get sick leave. The comment mentioned: “This clutters up the clinics/hospitals unnecessarily. Some people are just down with a minor illness that can be resolved with a simple home rest.

This gained a reply from another user saying: “A lot of these people think it’s okay because it doesn’t happen to them often enough so they can tell you so. A lot of things would change if people from that group suddenly became the target of such discrimination. For now it’s just not their problem so they don’t care.”Send in your scoops to news@theindependent.sg
