To ascertain the feelings and emotional responses of the target group, primary source datawere collected based on a questionnaire survey utilising the Lokman Emotion Importance Quadrant(LEIQ™) model. The data were analysed using text mining techniques based on R-Language software.According to the findings, happiness in Malaysian low-income communities is primarily shaped byconcerns about family matters such as success, care issues, education and so on. Interestingly,government financial support, money, income and work matters are only fifth in importance, andlastly, the least emphasis was put on the public transportation issue. To ensure the true happiness andwellbeing of people who are struggling financially, policymakers must provide not only financialassistance but also ensure a better future for their families: better healthcare, better incomes, keepinga roof over their heads, etc. This study will be useful to the government, development agencies, NGOs,international organisations and other stakeholders wanting to realise the United Nations' SustainableDevelopment Goals (SDGs) in Malaysia and similarly affected countries.
