How Accurate Is This Study?

Bernama Headline: Study Shows Malaysians Lead Comfortable And Happy Life, Says Abdullah.

A study carried out recently showed that Malaysians enjoyed a high standard of comfortable and happy family life, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said Friday.

The prime minister said the study showed the index on comfortable and happy family was at 8.2 from the highest scale of 10.

He said the study also showed the index on the people's courtesy was at 7.2 from the scale of 10.

"To have an index of more than seven is a good achievement. We must make more efforts to raise the index from time to time," he said at the Internal Security Ministry's monthly assembly here.

Abdullah, who is also Internal Security Minister, however, did not say the party which conducted the study.

Abdullah told government servants to carry out their jobs sincerely, with the intention of serving the people and making the people happy instead of enriching themselves.

He said the people were now more confident in the country's economic growth following the increase in investments, vibrant capital market and the stronger financial position.

"The country's economy has improved. Foreign and local investments have exceeded RM40 billion. The capital markets are active, with high performance, volume and index. The country's financial position is also getting stronger from time to time," he added.

This, he said, made the people more relieved compared to before when there was uncertainty. (Bernama)
