oohh....interesting...
One thing is not mentioned,
South Korea has a larger population and land mass, resources, than
Singapore.
Population means : critical mass.
They have people who can engineer cars, who can play world class
golf, and so on so forth. Why? Because many times over the critical
mass of Singapore.
Plus bigger land mass, resources, and proximity to Japan and China,
etc.
But I notice something hor, actually all the so-called Asian Tigers
have similarity.
Notice the Asian Tigers:
Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, HK, Singapore.
Plus a rising giant tiger China.
Did I miss anyone?
These countries all share the same 'roots' in its hard-working
ethics, and Confucious roots, respect for elderly, and in fact from
a common 'race' years ago.
Also I notice, 3 out of 5 have compulsory military conscription for
the male populace. I believe it further strengthen the wide range
sense of discipline.
