Briefly:\n\nPhilippines - overpopulation, rebels in the hills, gov't that seems to be easily be distracted - the easy answer might be to say corrupt, difficult to escape the economic powerhouses of China, Japan, & Australia to really establish any real economic base. Faced with cultural issues of being supressed/led/managed/abandoned by Spanish & Americans over last 300 years.\n\nSingapore - tiny. Can an authoritative gov't really instill creativity entrepenurship (they want to be a Silicon Valley of the East). Will they be usurped by HK/Shanghai as regional HQ on many multinationals? Will there be a problem with Malay & Malaysia going forward?

the problems will never be solve if the people will not move on... just face the facts, arroyo is the president and whether you like her or not the economy is doing good. not as good as india, malaysia, and dont even compare to china, but at least the tourism is increasing, foreign investors are coming in, and even if you say its becoz of the OFW the dollar is lowering compare to peso. i am not a fan of her myself, but if we oust her, impeach her, or people power her.. it will need another long years to recover. during the ouster of erap, the economy is not doing good becoz perception on our conntry's political stability is bad and busnessman dont wana invest in that scenario, right now they are having their confidence back.. if we oust gloria again, i wonder if we can still recover...\n\ni hope and pray the people and opposion leaders (dont care about the leftist communist) would come together and face this facts and do whats best for us.. lets move on

The Philippines has been on a political struggle for a long time, almost everybody from different political groups wants to be the ruling party, so the result is....what we have now in the philippines,slow economic growth,poverty and all sorts. Under PD1017, political crisis might be resolve,no rallies and demos,no armed struggle or be arrested, i think this is what my country needs now a harder implementation of rules so as to tame down these politicians with vested interest.

No, it isn't. Singapore is an independent state, and has been since 1967. Prior to 1967, Singapore was a part of Malaysia, which gained its independence from the British in 1957.

Not many countries get involved with Chinese internal issues. Just look at how everybody backed off from the Taiwanese independence issue also.

Why? Because the country that installed it was and still is corrupt. America created the Philippine government after the Spanish-American War. Therefor the Philippine government picked up it's bad habits. You know the old saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? Well there you go.

Hello dear!\nWell, people and their societies are dynamic bodies, which means there is always strive for improvement, thus, there will always be crisis in every society, especially large states as the Philippines! Further, countries with lower income and pressed political rights are expected to try harder for changes, which increases political crises. Thus, I foresee that the Philippines will continue having the crises for a long time; what I wish is that Philippinos will enjoy more and have more rights achieving higher living standards.

Malaysia is NOT better without Singapore, but Singapore IS better without Malaysia.\nMalaysia had a chance to become a better country in the early '60s, when Lee Kuan Yew and the PAP were rallying the minorities of Malaysia to stand up and be counted.  But then, what did the Tunku do but tell S'pore that it had to go its own way...\nNow look at the two countries.  Everyone in S'pore, no matter what their race, stands equal before the law, has an equal chance for success, and lives in prosperity.  Malaysia has rampant poverty, and still to this day discriminates in favor of the Malay majority while marginalizing minority groups.  These are not characteristics of a civilized nation.\nSo, ask yourself: Who is better without whom?\n...but then again, I'm just an ignorant foreigner...right?

A miracle. Sorry to be negative but Singapore is not even a 2nd tier Asian side. They are a long long way from being able to win or draw in Seoul, Riyadh, Tehran or Tokyo - and that is what is required to get to the finals out of Asia. I just think the country is too small to compete with the big nations. Singapore players really need to leave the City and play elsewhere to improve.

1 Lack of a Visionary Leader in either Party\n2 Misguided approach to foreign policy(Iraq,Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan,and India)\n3 Trade Imbalance and Current Account deficit....The day of equilibrium will come....\n4 Teachers Unions in Education\n5 Lack of overall fiscal constraint\n\n\nEdit...Independent....now how about a thread on actually resolving any of these issues...
