Quality of Life
Some selected nations from Malaysia 36th in quality of life index:

Singapore is in 11th place followed by Japan (17th), Hong Kong (18th), Taiwan (21st) and South Korea (30th), among the 111 countries that were ranked....

Ireland leads the ranking, moving up from fourth last year to top spot, while the United States dropped two places to 13th. Zimbabwe is at the bottom rung.

I spent a year in Malaysia and can attest that it is a fine place to live, and having visited it on two occasions, agree that nearby Singapore is one of the world's best places (much better than Japan); small really is beautiful.
