Tan Sri Joseph Kurup
Jerntut - Emiratesvoice
Malaysia has moved up to 29th spot among 163 countries in the 2017 Global Peace Index (GPI), from the 30th spot last year.
Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Tan Sri Joseph Kurup said the move was capable of giving the country a good image.
"The country's achievement is proven in a study published by the Institute of Economics and Peace (IEP) aimed at measuring peace at the global level.
"This shows that the country's economy is still good with drop in criminal cases, or violence, that can undermine peace and harmony among the people," he told a media conference after launching the state-level Merdeka Month and Unity Week here today.
Also present were Jerantut Member of Parliament Datuk Ahmad Nazlan Idris and National Unity and Integration director-general Baharin Idris.
