KOTA KINABALU: Telupid assemblyman Datuk Jonnybone Kurum remains optimistic about the district’s recognition as one of the happiest in Malaysia, despite public scepticism as to whether the title reflects the reality on the ground.

The Malaysia Happiness Index 2025 ranked Telupid, located in central Sabah, among the country’s happiest district councils, alongside Lipis (Pahang), Kuala Krai (Kelantan), Bandar Baharu (Kedah), Kuala Pilah (Negri Sembilan), Jerantut (Pahang) and Jelebu (Negri Sembilan).
