A SEARCH has been launched for the happiest person in Singapore, where a recent survey found that 90 per cent of its population feel that life is stressful.
The aptly named Philip Merry, chief executive of consulting firm Global Leadership Academy, has been tasked with locating the cheery resident.
``Being based in Singapore and having trained thousands of people across the globe, one distinct trend I have noticed is that despite material wealth and economic success, Singaporeans consider themselves less happy than many other people,'' Mr Merry said.
``Singaporeans fret about financial security and retirement. Many Singaporeans are concerned they do not have enough money to grow old gracefully and that seems to make them unhappy,'' he said.
Despite its affluence, a poll by international advertising firm Grey Group found that nine in ten people living in the city-state said they were stressed.
Citizens aged 18 years and above can be nominated for the title and the winner will be given an overseas holiday.
