IPOH - The Ipoh City Council (MBI) has appointed a consulting company to identify the reasons behind the city’s declining Happiness Index with the aim to place Ipoh among the Most Happy Cities by 2030.

Ipoh Mayor Datuk Rumaizi Baharin said, although it was normal for the index to drop if the sustainability index rose for any city in the world, MBI is aiming for Ipoh to have a balance in both indexes.

Ipoh has been lagging behind compared to other cities in Malaysia under the 2022 Malaysia Happiness Index Study.

Ipoh obtained a score of 88/7 per cent for 2022, a slight increase from 81.1 per cent the year before, but failed to reach above 90 per cent.

The study ranked Petaling Jaya, Manjung and Kluang among the 10 most happy cities in Malaysia.
