Score Analysis

Analysis of Singapore's policy signalling profile

Singapore's current policy signalling intensity is assessed at 51, which aligns closely with its composite score of 51.56, reflecting moderate signalling intensity. This score places Singapore at the 85th percentile globally, ranking 28th out of 186 countries. The repeal of Section 377A, which decriminalized consensual same-sex relations, slightly enhances the signalling intensity, although the lack of same-sex marriage keeps the score from rising further. The country's high score in Legislative/Regulatory Activism (90.01) significantly influences the overall assessment, indicating robust legislative engagement in policy signalling. However, the relatively lower scores in Institutional DEI Policy Intensity and Education & Curriculum Signalling reflect a more conservative approach in these areas, balancing the overall intensity.

Analyzing the dimension scores, Singapore shows the highest signalling intensity in Legislative/Regulatory Activism with a score of 90.01, indicating an active legislative environment. The Speech & Expression Climate score of 65.97 suggests a moderate level of expression freedom, while Corporate/Investor Signalling at 63.70 indicates noticeable activity in corporate DEI initiatives. In contrast, Institutional DEI Policy Intensity (28.85) and Education & Curriculum Signalling (32.90) depict lower signalling intensity, highlighting areas with less progressive engagement. Media & Platform Moderation and Protest & Activism Salience also show moderate engagement with scores of 34.49 and 48.09, respectively, reflecting a balanced but controlled approach to media regulation and public activism.
