Malaysia has been crowned the third most single nation in Southeast Asia, according to the latest scoop from SeaAsia Stats.
A whopping 44.68% of Malaysians are rocking the single life, finding themselves in the esteemed company of singles, divorcees, the separated, and the widowed.
Only the Philippines and Brunei are ahead in the race to singlehood supremacy in the region.
Drawing from 2021 data by the UN Population Division, the poster presents a fascinating breakdown of the single population across Southeast Asia, with Malaysia notably ranking third.
According to the chart, single person means a person who is unmarried, divorced, separated or widowed. From 1970 to 2021, UN collected marriage data on about 1.6 billion singles globally.
Many single individuals humorously acknowledged the comment, playfully calling themselves out for being part of the statistic.
One comment questions the validity of the statistic
The netizen criticizes the inclusion of divorced, separated, and widowed individuals in the statistic on singlehood in Southeast Asia, suggesting it distorts the true picture of single life, especially in countries like Malaysia where relationships are common.
Singles, rock your freedom and laugh louder!
