Malaysia among Top 20 Happiest Nations in the World

Racial issues and accusations of corruption in the government aside, it appears we Malaysians are a happy lot if this survey is to be believed.

Coming in at a creditable no.17 overall, we are third only to Bhutan and Brunei as the happiest Asian nation in a list dominated by wealthier European states.

The survey conducted by Adrian White of the University of Leiceser, also found that a nation's level of happiness was most closely associated with health levels, prosperity and education.

It was not mentioned where Singapore was placed.

I read a similar "Happiness" country rating study earlier this year and the island of Vanuatu ranked 1st. That made more sense.

Malaysia seems too high on this ranking given the amount of racial tension and racist government policies.
