Do you agree? 

What are your thoughts?

Systems in Spore are generally very efficient from buses (not so for MRT now) and roads and one of the best airports we are having.

Finland has emerged as the happiest nation in the world in the sixth World Happiness Report.

Norway, which topped the list last year, finished second in the 2018 report, followed by Denmark, Iceland and Switzerland.

The report, prepared by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network for the United Nations, ranks countries on six key variables - income, freedom, trust, healthy life expectancy, social support and generosity.

The 2018 report focuses on migration within and between countries and was released on March 14, a week ahead of the World Happiness Day. It surveyed 156 countries for their happiness levels, and 117 countries to determine the happiness of immigrants.

In Asia, Israel finished first occupying the 11th spot, while United Arab Emirates came second at rank 20, followed by Qatar (32) and Saudi Arabia (33).

In Southeast Asia, Singapore was found to be the happiest nation at rank 34, followed by Malaysia (35) and Thailand (46).

China is lagging behind its Asian neighbours at 86 in the happiness quotient, while its fellow billion citizen peer, India is seemingly even more unhappy at rank 133.

Among other Asian nations, Mongolia was ranked at 94, Vietnam at 95, Indonesia, 96, Bhutan - which was once the happiest - at 97, Nepal at 101, Laos, 110, Bangladesh, 115, Sri Lanka, 116, Cambodia, 120 and Myanmar, 130.

As expected, Singapore media only report the good news but not the entire truth.

 

1. As compare to the report in 2017 (report period from 201 to 2016), Singapore ranking has dropped from World Ranking 26 (Scored 6572) to 34 (Scored 6343) whereas Malaysia climbed from Ranking 42 (Scored 6084) to 35 (scored 6322).  

 

2. The changes in the happiness from 2008-2010 to 2015-2017 is -0.164 (decrease) whereas Malaysia is 0.733 (increase).

 

Maybe by next year, Singapore will be overtaken by Malaysia liao...

If everyone is happy, why do I hear so many people want to migrate?

The ranking had dropped and the happiness level is decreasing. Maybe without converting more Foreigners to PR / Citizens and people migrating out of Singapore, we already ranked below Malaysia liao..

Take it with a pinch of salt.

Next year if ranking drop, going to use bombastic words like underhappy.
