I was watching news online that Malaysia was ranked 6th in the world as the most efficient government in 2007, beating countries like the UK, Japan and Germany.
Our PM announced that the findings were based on the reputed Switzerland-based IMD Competitiveness Yearbook. I did a check in IMD afterwards and found that we were neither 6th in 2007 nor 8th the year before. We were 22nd in 2007 and 23rd in 2006.
I think our PM misread our position with Switzerland's. This is quite an embarrassing blunder for a PM. He's probably still suffering from the jetlag from his recent trip to Davos....ermm, that's in Switzerland right; or Malaysia?

maybe because he was only referring to countries with more than 20 mil population?
probably not. the US didn't appear to be 1st, as it would in the ranking. China was.
