This article uses the Malaysia Human Development Index (MHDI), which is an index developed by the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) to evaluate the level of human development which is the main criteria in measuring the progress of a country aside from economic aspects. The MHDI comprises three dimensions, namely: long and healthy life, access to knowledge, and a decent standard of living. The measure is developed based on the Human Development Index report from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
