Reason three: Less happy old age . Or less retirement. The minimum retirement age in Singapore is 62 years old by law. This means, your company cannot ask you to retire before 62 years old as long as you are a Singapore citizen or Permanent Resident. There is a saying among the elderly here: "Work till you die".
原因三：
少快乐的老年。或更低比例的退休老人。根据法律，新加坡的最低退休年龄为62岁。这意味着，只要您是新加坡公民或永久居民，您的公司就不能要求您在62岁之前退休。在这里老年人中有一个说法：“工作直到你死”。
To earn a living in Singapore, one has to work until one can no longer walk. Most of our seniors work as cleaners in shopping malls or in fast food joints. Some even collect cardboard boxes on the streets, others sell tissues. These are just a few big examples where most of us in Singapore accept the fact that to keep earning, we have to literally work ourselves to death. Those are some of the reasons in my opinion why stress levels in Singapore are quite high even though we are a developed country. 要在新加坡谋生，必须工作，直到一个人不再走路为止。我们的大多数老年人都在购物中心或快餐店担任清洁工。有些甚至在街上收集纸板箱，有些甚至卖纸巾。这些只是我们新加坡大多数人接受以下事实的一些大型例子，即要继续赚钱，我们必须把自己累死。
在我看来，这些原因是新加坡的压力水平很高的原因，即使我们是一个发达国家。

Let me tell you a secret. The Singapore government has successfully transformed Singapore into a metropolitan city-state in less than 50 years. That is certainly a great achievement. However, behind that, there is a dark side that is only felt by the lower class in our country. The elderly in Singapore still have to work hard even though they should be enjoying the fruits of their hard work in old age. This is only felt by low to middle-income families whose salaries are mostly used for rent and expensive bills.
我告诉你一个秘密。新加坡政府在不到50年的时间内成功地将新加坡变成了大都市国家。这当然是一个伟大的成就。但是，在此之后，只有我们国家的下层阶级才有一个黑暗的一面。即使新加坡的老年人仍必须努力工作，即使他们应该在老年人努力工作。低至中等收入家庭的薪水大多用于租金和昂贵的账单才能感觉到这一点。

Here are the reasons in my opinion:
我认为原因如下：
我认为原因如下：
The first reason:
Overpopulation . As of September 2019, our population reached 5.8 million. The government predicts that our country's population could reach 6.9 million by 2030. The total land area of our country is only 721 square kilometers. The population density is 8,274 people per square kilometer. Imagine having to jostle every time you go to work. Imagine the queue of people during lunch hour.
原因一：人口过多。截至2019年9月，我们的人口达到580万。政府预测，到2030年，我国的人口可能会达到690万。我国的总土地面积仅为721平方公里。人口密度为每平方公里8274人。想象一下，每次你上班时都必须争吵。想象一下午餐时间排队的人。

Reason two: Transportation . During rush hour, MRT train breakdowns often occur. Locals always joke that the government never calls such problems as breakdowns. Instead, it is called the train's "fault". Simply put, our MRT lines were never built to support so many trains with a frequency of 1-2 minutes. The reason why our trains have to have a frequency of 1-2 minutes is because there are too many people waiting at the station. This is a picture when the MRT breakdown occurs. Scary huh? Imagine seeing this scene once a week on average after a hard day's work.
原因二：运输。在高峰时段，MRT火车经常发生故障。当地人总是开玩笑说，政府从未将诸如崩溃之类的问题提出来。相反，它被称为火车的“故障”。简而言之，我们的捷运线从未建造过以1-2分钟的频率支撑这么多火车。我们的火车必须有1-2分钟的频率的原因是因为车站有太多的人在等待。这是当MRT崩溃发生时的图片。可怕吧？想象一下，经过一整天的工作，平均每周一次看到这个场景。
