- Studies have found that Singapore has some of the highest burnout rates globally each year, with a regional survey highlighting the republic's workforce as one of Southeast Asia's most mentally taxed. Key culprits include long hours, relentless deadlines and a shaky work-life balance. Nikhil Khattar reports, while Mr Adrian Lim from Family Counselling Psychologist shared more about mental health stressors and ways to seek help.
They are all beating around the bush, without addressing the main issue. Just like other well developed democratic countries, Singapore workforce need " right to disconnect" from work after 6.00 pm. No emails or messages need to be answered beyond that time.
developed my ass, cannot even produce own food and water , low car ownership, 80% stay in lease hold shoeboxes, there is FAR from being developed bodo haolian
Plus a self centred society of people

Taking bus talking loudly or listening to phones without earphones… smoking @ KPTs in non-smoking zones… so stress
I'm burnt out as a full time corporate worker at 24 (2 years in), juggling part time uni, the weekends fly by quicker than a snap of a finger. All we look forward to are weekends for months on end. Leaping at the chance for an escape whenever there's free time. Us born in the year 2000 are no longer kids having fun. While I’m well aware of how blessed I am, especially before more responsibilities start coming in; having my own family, housing, chasing the bag etc. The issue at hand here is the unending and growing workload causing constant burnouts for the dwindling general workforce, there wouldn’t be a mental health crisis and high suicide rates if it’s all fine and dandy isn’t it? the general cost of living is on an unstoppable upwards trajectory, can't imagine another 40 years of this tbf
when you want to buy an "affordable" house , it's gonna be 2mil each
Weak
Even though I agree in general what’s brought up by this 24yo, it’s still too early or weak for complain or giving up. Imagine yr stress compounded for ppl working 10, 20, 30 years already. Should they collapse totally?
Time for workers in SG to go onto the picket line. Stop letting your employer exploit you.
Got burn out just 4 months into a new job. The manager give instructions every day near midnight. When ask to tackle a task, no clear instructions/objective was given. Even the clients had to step in. This sense of super uncertainty of what sh*t gona come tonight and what I suppose to do at work took a toll on me. Now I am broken, jobless, seeing psychiatrist and therapy.
Do not take it lightly of mental health, just a few months can break you. Run when you still can. I was paralysis, I always wonder why people are suicidal due to a job. When you are under extreme stress, you don't think right, the world seem hopeless with no way out.
This was exactly me. Getting emails at midnight. Whatsapp on weekends asking me to work. The instructions kept changing on a daily basis as well, no SOP, the SOP only exists like a roti prata in her head 😂
Do take a good break, know that how you were treated was a reflection of the other person and not you. Your value is not tied to a job. You're not broken, you're learning. Keep up the good fight
High cost of living mixed with cheapo people who would be more than willing to scam you.
Yes those bastards(scanners)
its the teams ringtone or whatsapp notification for me that trigger my anxiety at home ☹
Yes.. I get burnt out. Working mom here😢. Hard to juggle between office work 8-6 and a mother!
u should ask your husband to rotate taking care of the kids too so u can have your “me time” !! i hope u are coping well with ur schedule! keep going ☺️
@@yours7325It’s not just about husband helping out or sharing the load. Some of us have strong maternal instinct and it’s painful to be away from our kids and home.
The more u want, the more u hv to bear… no choice in current times.
The employees must fight for their rights.
The pap party still dare to allow non singaporeans to buy hdb flats, even knowing sg run out of land to build hdb flats and run out of road for cars.
I’m guilty of the number one trigger. I hate people using phone speaker on the train.
Sound of digging, hammering & drilling everywhere, plus the low rumble sound wave created causing mental stress.
That is why Singapore IRL street fight videos are one of the best. 😂🤣
With the corrupt PAP ruling Singapore, not just is this situation not going to get better, it will only get worse. Mental health issues, suicide rates, cost of living is going up and the only thing that is going down is birth rates, all thanks to PAP
Tell us something we don’t know.
Toxic Workplace and Workplace Bullying.
I'm also having deep stress with the noise of saf fighter jets
perhaps employer should asked themselves if they are the cause of the burn-out. A lot of work process are not necessary, and create a lot of additional workoverload that slow down workflow process and slow down innovation.
Yes exactly. They create all these shits.
wow we are number 1 yay finally we can all be proud...clap clap
Kiasu mentality is toxic...
It's true, anxious mums produce anxious children, saw it in me and my sister and her child.
talk and talk and talk, but what is the solution?
Nato. No action talk only
If setting up for success is the only option for mental wellbeing.Then we are all screwed for life.
This is an general east asian problem. I'm from China, and it's even worse there. This is why when I immigrated to America, it's soooo much nicer here. It's easy to out compete other american students, and then other American co-workers. Winning scholarships, internships and recieved several promotion when I started working. Life is just much less competitive and stressful outside of Asia.
How about having a deeper dive on studying specific groups of people, eg. full-time working mum with >2 kids. Ha ha ha… Singaporeans are tough fighters! That said, i’m proud to be a Sgporean. Keep going! ;)
This what happens to me in Singapore.
Is it ok if court may help us if parents bullying us?
If one declare “mental health”, then that year appraisal will kena “unable to perform under stress”
Since sg tops world first in scams city, majority people said it's a matter of time before the remaining singapore reserves $$ and gold bars be scammed away, or by the pap party of course.
Are you from another planet???
Government don't even invest in this field b'cos there is no commercial values.Sucks !😢
No.4 - makes eating Cai Fan a stress inducing affair 😅
Seems to me the beginning of a viscous cycle…. 😮
I came upon this video and I get more stress listening to it
Wait, is there a name when people don't like fart?
The psychologist who keeps saying right right right right really gets on my nerves.
Some of these are consequences, not causes. If you are relaxed, you will be more inclined to clean, you won't be much bothered by noise, won't need to escape with scrolling, etc
The pap party holding all the money and own self collect own self 's highest pay etc, but only gave singaporeans a little money the pap party call helping the people.
What stress? Gov sector mostly stop working before office hours, same as bank branches! Maybe it’s hdb corridor clutters or all those bicycles anyhow parking under hdb blocks, all obstructing people walking thru properly, creating stresses around homes. Town councils certainly is not stress by leaving those problems alone until fire breakout when people cannot evacuate smoothly or gets injured. They really need to impose fines to efficiently put an end to such bs.
Those people who likes to choose the pap party only means those people love sufferings of course, and drag all people into sufferings.
Also majority people said there are no more food safety and other safety, the next meal the people eat are likely the last meal of their lives.
Went to Singapore last week, eat variety of food. Tastes very delicious and I feel it's healthier than in my country. I mean, they also manages to lower the sugar levels in drinks sold in restos
Also majority people said that the food is safe and delicious and would love more meals.
All starts with push for productivity. Now everyone needs to do more --> More OT --> more stressed --> Less time for kids --> kids get pushed to more tuition cos parents no time to teach at home --> kids all stressed --> kids grow up and realise working life no different from school (stress and more stress). So what did we expect?
so, now the PAP Minister was not picked for the interview.
there's also PAP Fatigue Syndrome / Fed-Up with PAP Syndrome = FUPS.
What's important singapore became a multi-nation country, multi-nation-singapore so even with the saf soldiers also no use totally, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back.
How does one read loudly
Why even bother having a segment to cover this when you won't address the real and main issues at hand, and tackle them and actually mitigate the issues instead of lip service and acting out like you care?
HIGH COST OF LIVING
ASTRONOMICAL COE Prices for 10 yr Lease
RIDICULOUS HDB Prices for 99 yrs Lease
MOST EXPENSIVE PM On The Planet
So YEAH
Solution: You can emigrate to Gaza Strip where everything is cheap and life is cheaper.
these are all true, and no doubt the presence/lack of something causing stress. but this CNA story seems to be making aware the symptoms and not really the root underlying causes of these stressors. Was it not invented yet in the early 2000s; like why only now? i think it’s not that the social sciences and medicine didn’t understand these well back then, but perhaps our unwillingness to broach an inconvenient issue perhaps? not sure.
SG is Orwellian hell. 😂
People are a source of stress, more trouble than is worth it.
burnout got job to do and money to earn good enough im still taking classes with ite part time hr and accounting and wsg courses upgrading equally busy
So now use this reason and excuse to say why 1 in 3 youths have mental issues?
So what about the ratio of adults? I dare not make a guess!😆😆😆🤣🤣
Maybe not much adults cause IMH still got a lot of vacant places. Those interested can apply.
Surprisingly majority people said the people are the every day opposition people themselves.
This is not a problem. We need to work hard to continue being a rich country! We need to keep working hard, everyone!
Actually everyone will experience some form of stress in their lifetime. Don't think anyone can avoid it but you'll have to manage & not to let it overcome you. How do I manage my stress. I identify it & find solution(s) to it.
too many politician at work place
How is current society more stressful than the past? Yes, work demands are tough but compared with pioneers when survival is daily and food on the table is a real issue. People these days have just gone soft. Time to toughen up.
What's important lucky I didn't had any brand of the jab before and that's why never sick before, as majority people said after they took the jabs previously but nowadays they only became more and more easily to fall sick, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back.
@diypromax Better get your jab for mpox otherwise you may regret.
burnout but got money to use why not
Who be the Pm also no use totally, majority people said they choose the pap party but only getting more and more sufferings and problems from the pap party always of course.
then dont study, dont work anymore, eveeyone just hug each other and go for a year long holiday
Great of you to preach extremism 👍
bro logged on for ad reductio absurdum 💀💀💀
Welcome to the real world! 😂😅🤣
It just feels like after mental awareness become a big thing,ppl tolerance to stress dropped. Ppl arent trying to cope with stress but rather to escape from stress using 'mental health' as a shield.
Those that are mentally weak tend to have more problems. They need to seek help from professionals.
Lololol weak
What do you expect when the government priorities economic growth too much and keep raising the cost of living?
COL very low in Gaza Strip. Why don't emigrate to GS.
@@jer2911.L Japan’s burnout rate is even higher, why not move there to be number one?
@@whatthefitt Where can I find the data for Japan burnout rate???
@@jer2911.L If you have hands, eyes, internet and a smartphone 🤷🏻♂️
