Can this region be first world? I heard their economy is growing

Should I learn Malay?

They can, and they will be. Thailand and Vietnam at first, followed by Philippines.

In this order
Singapore (already one)
Malaysia
Thailand
Vietnam
etc.

>>78206267
oh right I forgot Malaysia. Singapore is obvious.

But yeah the others are way behind those, except maybe Philippines which is maybe in the middle

>>78206158
>Vietnam
They have the lowest GDP per capita among the big 6 though?

>>78206090
yes

1. unite
2. adopt a liberal tecnocracy
3. forget national identities

>Uniting muzzies with buddhists and catholics
Yeah sure.

>>78207364
that area is so diverse they will never unify.

>>78207409
ban religions

>>78206090
no they won't

I've been there many times, holy shit has that region improved since 10 years ago.

It says something when I'm waking down the streets of myanmar and the streets are cleaner, better kept, and more organized than American streets.

I feel like Singapore is already first world, pretty soon all southeast Asian countries will be except for Cambodia, Philippines and laos. There's also a huge arms race going on now in SEA as well.

Big tip, invest in Vietnam and myanmar now.
