When people here were polled on the values that mattered most to them, this is what turned up tops: honesty.
In a survey of 503 people, respondents were asked to rate 20 values according to how important each was to them. At the top, after honesty, came kindness, gratitude, fairness, forgiveness and empathy, in that order. At the bottom was curiosity, which was ranked behind appreciation of beauty and excellence, creativity, spirituality, and courage.
The survey was commissioned by The Straits Times after the Government said it was ramping up character education in schools, stirring a debate about values and how they should be imparted.
Several MPs also voiced concerns in Parliament this week over an apparent growing sense of entitlement and individualism here.
