_______________________
Malaysia at 17 beats Singapore which is not in the list. This report is prior to the demise of its founding father, LKY. I guess the Singaporeans are a lot happier when the get out Singapore for a holiday in Malaysia. An we Malaysians become less happy when these Singaporeans leave their country and start littering around.
