About this event

A MAJOR initiative within Penang’s Chief Minister YAB Chow Kon Yeow’s Penang2030 vision is the Happiness In Penang (HIP) Index. Penang Institute was tasked to carry out a survey every 2-3 years to measure the wellbeing of the people of Penang, as subjectively experienced by them.

The Index makes it possible for the government to consider over time which aspects of the livelihood of its citizens require policy measures to improve, and which policies are succeeding well in the eyes of the population.

Covid-19 slowed the process down somewhat, but Penang Institute has now completed the first survey and the Index has been computed.

We would like to invite members of the press to partake of the results of the first HIP Index survey at this by-invitation-only press conference.
