Singaporeans Consider Their Family As The Top Priority

According to a poll conducted by National Family Council (NFC) in April this year, out of 300 Singaporeans, 58.3% revealed that family was their top priority.

It might surprise you to hear that Singaporeans consider their family as top priority. We are constantly facing stress from our surroundings. Be it from work, relationships or self-expectations. When was the last time you snapped at someone close to you, be it your family member, partner, or child, unknowingly, or unable to focus during a conversation because you were distracted with other matters? Take a minute, just one minute and clear your mind of all distractions; think, what is the most important thing to you? The first word that pops is the answer.

The good news is that most Singaporeans consider family as top priority. According to a poll conducted by National Family Council (NFC) in April this year, out of 300 Singaporeans, 58.3% revealed that family was tops, followed by personal pursuits/interests (11%) and health (10.3%).

To demonstrate how important family was to these respondents, results showed 41.6% of them have meals with their families at least four times a week, and 4 in 10 respondents take time to go out with their families at least once a week.
