According to a survey by non-profit neuroscience research organisation Sapien Labs, Malaysia is the 5th happiest country in the world. We spoke to Dr Lim Hooi Shan to understand whether this is reflective of our mental health trends in the country and the variables we use to determine individual happiness. Our listeners also chip in with their thoughts on whether we are considered happy, as a nation.
