Malaysia has been listed as one of the most generous nations in the world.<\/p>\n

In the Charity Aid Foundation\u2019s (CAF) World Giving Index for 2015 released in November, Malaysia was ranked in the 10th<\/sup> spot and received a score of 52.<\/p>\n

The index by Britain-based CAF looks at three measures of giving \u2013 donating money, volunteering time, and helping a stranger.<\/p>\n

Malaysia scored 62% when it comes to helping strangers, 58% in donating money and 37% in volunteer services.<\/p>\n

Myanmar is ranked first in the World Giving Index for 2015, having previously shared this position with the US in 2014.<\/p>\n

Their score of 66% achieved is the highest on record. Myanmar once again records the highest incidence of donating money (92%), and this year, it also leads the world in terms of volunteering (50%).<\/p>\n

The US comes in second while New Zealand completes the podium. Other countries in the top 10 are Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Sri Lanka and Ireland.<\/p>\n

For this year\u2019s report 145 countries were surveyed, representing around 96% of the world\u2019s population.<\/p>\n

According to CAF findings, cultural and religious practices, as well as disruptive events, are at the root of a number of big changes seen this year.<\/p>\n

Also, despite their highly developed economies, only five G20 countries are in this year\u2019s Top 20, reminding us that economic prosperity does not automatically lead to a rise in generosity.<\/p>\n

CAF is an international charity registered in the United Kingdom, with nine offices covering six continents.<\/p>\n

The adage goes that, \u201cGive, and you will receive.\u201d Get even more goodies when you spend using the right credit card<\/a>.<\/p>\n
