Singapore

Singapore's Social Policy Signalling Index score is assessed at 53, placing it in the moderate intensity category. This score indicates that Singapore exhibits a balanced approach towards policy signalling intensity in comparison to other nations. While the country's dimension scores average to a similar figure, the recent repeal of Section 377A, which previously criminalized same-sex relations, suggests a gradual shift towards more moderate LGBTQ policy signalling. However, the lack of legal recognition for same-sex marriage and other comprehensive LGBTQ protections keeps the overall intensity from reaching higher levels. The strict content control and regulatory frameworks also contribute to this moderate score, reflecting the government's cautious stance on content moderation and freedom of expression.

Analyzing the dimension scores, Singapore shows the highest signalling intensity in "Legislative/Regulatory Activism" with a score of 86.42, indicating substantial involvement in legislative measures, likely reflecting strict regulatory frameworks. The "Speech & Expression Climate" and "Corporate/Investor Signalling" also reflect moderate signalling with scores of 62.22 and 63.77, respectively. Conversely, "Institutional DEI Policy Intensity" and "Education & Curriculum Signalling" have lower signalling intensity, indicating less aggressive policy implementation in these areas. These patterns suggest a country focused on maintaining regulatory oversight while being more reserved in institutional and educational reforms.
