PEOPLE in Singapore trust the Government here more than the residents of any other country trust their government, a new survey of 22 countries has found.
Trust in the Singapore Government was 84 per cent, according to the survey by US-based PR firm Edelman.
That is far higher than the global average of 49 per cent, which means fewer than one in two people worldwide trust their own government, on average.
Singapore also leads the field as the most trusted country for companies to locate their global headquarters, scoring a trust level of 89 per cent.
'The Singapore Government's successful track record in steering the country through global economic crises and pandemics has instilled unprecedented levels of trust,' said Mr Bob Grove, managing director of Edelman Southeast Asia.
The survey polled 200 people in Singapore and a total of 4,875 worldwide, including the United States, Britain, China and India.
