MAY 19 – Malaysia is ranked 43rd in the 2011 Legatum Prosperity Index (www.prosperity.com), an index that measures prosperity not just by money but by overall quality of life as well. To arrive at a particular ranking, Legatum assesses 110 countries, accounting for over 90 per cent of the world’s population, and is based on 89 different variables, each of which has a demonstrated effect on economic growth or on personal well-being. The Index consists of eight sub-indexes, each of which represents a fundamental aspect of prosperity – Economy, Entrepreneurship & Opportunity, Governance, Education, Health, Safety & Security, Personal Freedom, and Social Capital.
NOT MATURE FOR FREEDOM?
Whilst Malaysia ranks fairly well in most of the sub-indexes, it ranks 96 out of the 110 countries for Personal Freedom, just one notch above Zimbabwe and even countries often perceived as less free like China, Saudi Arabia and Israel ranks higher in this category. The trend over the last three years has also been on the decline.
