A study showed that Malaysia is the third laziest country in the world!

According to a new study conducted by Standford University, Malaysians walk an average of 3,943 steps a day.

But compared to Hong Kongers who walk an average of 6,880 steps a day, the Malaysian average does not seem much.


The study was conducted using step-counters installed in most smartphones to track the walking activity of about 700,000 people in 46 countries around the world.

Scott Delp, a professor who co-led the research, said that “the study is 1,000 times larger than any previous study on human movement.”

Standford researchers also noted that people typically walked a similar amount every day in countries with less obesity. However, there were larger gaps between those who walked a lot and those who walked very little in nations with higher rates of obesity.

“If you think about some people in a country as ‘activity rich’ and others as ‘activity poor’, the size of the gap between them is a strong indicator of obesity levels in that society,” Delp explained.

In our opinion, Kuala Lumpur is not as walkable as cities like Seoul, Hong Kong, and Tokyo. So the result is pretty unfair, don’t you think, asked Hype.my.

Any ministers gonna say something about this? laugh.gif

So less walking means lazy?

Bodo study

We walking less due to stupid pavement/street and public transportation
Not to mention our land is plenty so parking space is kinda cheap and car ownership is easy

Not to mention the weather

Mai da potek.

Macam tak biasa, Malaysian ni lagi sanggup double, triple park betul2 depan kedai dari jalan 2, 3 minit parking kosong jauh sikit.

Dah la paling buncit kat ASEAN, nak kata apa lagi?

The weather and the pedestrian walk is pretty much a major factor here....

Just today, a car blocked an entire lane of a 3-lane road to buy nasi lemak when there were vacant parking spaces just 5 metres ahead but would've required her to drive into the smaller road. She wanted to stop right in front of the stall.
