Happiest person in Singapore, Andy Goh

Posted by jtsmyth8 on April 17, 2008

Stressed-out Singapore named its happiest person on Thursday at a conference that aimed to make people in the city-state feel better. Andy Goh, 35, the manager of a local engineering company, was named “Singapore’s Happiest Person”.

His secret?

“A lot of times, happiness is not just money and stuff, so you’ve got to count your blessings: health, family, friends, helping other people,” Goh said after receiving 200 dollars (148 US) and a trip to the Thai resort island of Phuket.

The aptly named Philip Merry, chief executive of consulting firm Global Leadership Academy, began his search for Singapore’s most cheery resident last month. (story)
