  1. Very stressful having to slog you whole life at work, just to have some $ for retirement or survive.

    So wat if we hav more $, but no life!?

    I'd rather be happier with Malaysia's slower pace.

    Noticing this cluster, Thailand, the Philippines and China have significantly much lower per capita GDP than Japan and South Korea, yet they're ranking above.
