Finally.... Bruneians are very happy.....

Over 2 weeks ago, the British based New Economics Foundation (NEF) published a report on the world’s happiest countries and Brunei was placed 100th place.

Another report published yesterday, on the world’s 178 “happiest” countries, Brunei is placed 9th happiest country, beating Singapore and Malaysia (17th place) for the top 10 spot for ASEAN countries.


Happiness according Adrian White, the analytic social psychologist of UK’s Leicester University, is closely related to the people’s HEALTH, WEALTH and access to EDUCATION.


70% of the top 10 countries are small in size AND practice welfare state hence that's why people are far more happier since they worry less about their daily life. Bruneians are now very happy indeed after the announcement of the salary rise. So based on this positive comment, lets expect Brunei can attract more tourists to visit the country, as many could be curious about one of the world's happiest country… heheh
