The search is on for the happiest person in Singapore. The search comes after a recent survey found nine in 10 people feel life is stressful and they need more fun.
The hunt will be led by Philip Merry. He is chief executive and founder of the Global Leadership Academy. The hunt will last until March 30.
Singaporeans can nominate anyone they know over the age of 18. He or she must contribute to society and be happy "no matter what life throws at them," Merry said. Merry, 58, was talking to the Straits Times.

"Success is getting what you want," he told the newspaper. "But happiness is wanting what you get. (DPA)
