One reason for Singapore’s happiness is that the government provides【D2】________, such as jobs and housing. There is almost no poverty, and Singapore has one of the lowest levels of unemployment in the world. The government creates jobs for people who are unemployed. It "tops up" poorer people’s income so everyone can have a【D3】 ________standard living. The government also offers tax breaks to people who look after aging parents. This may be why 84 percent of older people live with their children. The result is a lot of closely connected families with roughly equal standards of living.
People may not all be happy about laws, but they are generally happy with the results—they don’ t step in litter, the public toilets work, and the streets are safe and clean. So for Singaporeans, it seems that living in a【D4】________, clean, and safe place may be more important than having a lot of personal freedom. As Dr. Tan Ern Ser of Singapore’ s Institute of Policy Studies explains, " If you are【D5】________of getting what you want in life, then you are happy. "
