In the early 90s Singapore had the highest suicide rate for the elderly in the world.
It woke the givt up they need to deliver some basic care and reach out to the elderly who were suffering depression.
It takes a lot for our elites to understand the emotional intricacies of the population. Their problem is not their intellect but their heart.
I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

They should be concerned even if it is lower.
But Singapore is NOT at number 3 in Asia. They are at 7.
South Korea 28.6
Mongolia 17.9
Kazakhstan 17.6
Japan 15.3
Sri Lanka 14
India 12.7
Singapore is at 52 worldwide for countries with statistics. Just behind Luxembourg (11.3) and in front of New Zealand (11).

Whatever it is, Singapore is among the richest in the world, and most expensive city..
Only with a small population of 5.7 mio people.
Unacceptable high suicide rates

Actually being in a city will raise suicide rates. The higher the urbanicity, the higher the suicide rates.
As for being expensive, I cannot find much correlation between being expensive and suicide rates although countries like
Belgium, USA, Japan, Finland, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Australia, Germany, Canada, Norway and Luxembourg have higher suicide rates than Singapore. Because there are also a lot of cheaper countries that have higher suicide rates than Singapore.

Higher than Singapore. 12 deaths per 100,000 in 2017. Should be higher in the later years due to mass brainwashing by the west in 2019-2020 and Covid-19 in 2020-now.

As reported PM Lee says the Govt didn't do everything right during Covid19 pandemic in past 2 1/2 years so, could this high numbers suicide rates in Singapore coincidentally due to govt short coming.
With a small population, Could the Govt be more prepared and prevented this to happen?
