I also watched a video clip from Singapore where Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, in an interview from the early 1990s, predicted that Vietnam would become the most dynamic country in ASEAN.

Among all the ASEAN countries, Singapore partnership with Vietnam has been most reliable.

[@城邦寡人]

Precisely because it is reliable and trustworthy with stronge rule of law, that is what causing some people to be jealous of Vietnam. Those investment could have gone to other places to benefit other country people. Instead the money flows into the Vietnamese economy to expand the income and gdp of Vietnamese. Be careful of jealous people who spread lies to destabilized the Viet-Sing relation. They actually want those investment into their own country. Vietnamese must know how to protect and keep foreign investment inside Vietnam.

[@oliverchua9211]

Singapore investments should not be taken only as a means of doing business and making money. Its actually a transfer of technology, skills, knowledge for the host country thereby uplifting its peoples standard of living.

[@thethaovatoquoc312]

VinGroup's CEO Pham Nhat Vuong also owns VinFast. VinFast front model and logo were exact copies of China's Changan Automobile back in 1950's. There is a reason why zero Vinfast car was sold in Europe after it failed safety standards there for 5 years after much fanfare for its Paris Auto Show with big ticket hired spokesman Beckham in 2018. There is a reason why Michael Lohscheller resigned as CEO after only 6 months seeing the scam from the inside. VinFast is part of VinGroup whose numerous enterprises ended up being short-lived, including convenient stores, clothe lines, smart phones, rice-cookers, stock-trading platform, gas cars, e-bikes, and soon-to-be electric cars. Even Vietnamese Commie newspapers indicate that Chairman Vuong's real goal is to take this so-called company on US market IPO, sweep the cash, then flee like a bandit. He created the vast wealth for VinGroup only through using VinGroup as a conduit to sell robbed lands of poor Vietnamese citizens by colluding with the brutal Vietnamese Commie regime who directly did the land-robbing. All true. Do your independent research.

[@arjingyap8187]

Indeed, there's been a significant influx of Singaporean investments in Vietnam. But most of the Money are from China. The Vietnamese government has put up some barriers for direct Chinese investments, showing a preference for other sources. However, the Chinese have come up with a workaround by partnering with Singaporeans as intermediaries to invest in Vietnam. They tend to remain discreet in the process, but that's how substantial funds flow into Vietnam.I'm from Singapore and actively engaged in the financial sector here in Vietnam.

Since Singaporean Chinese are mainly from South China, we are the same people as the Vietnamese. In ancient times, the indigenous population in the Yangtze Basin were known as the Yue or Bai Yue. The term Yue is Chinese term for Viet in Vietnamese so Southern Chinese people are actually closer to Vietnamese then Han Chinese. In fact we were never Han Chinese. It was a label the Han conquerors imposed on us after having ethnically cleansed the Yues.

Mao had fabricated a lie too that the US was invading China and gullible Chinese soldiers died for the evil Kim Regime.

I watched several videos on slums in a SEA country. It's like holiday every day. Kids, young people and able-bodied middle-aged residents were idling around. And I when I watched a video on a slum in Vietnam, I observed that the place is very clean and tidy. It was very quiet because practically everybody had gone out to work. Old ladies gathered to do home-based work such as peeling ginger while children sat on the floor doing their homework on a low stool. Vietnam is in South East Asia but culturally, they're Confucians and ethnically, East Asians.

[@vnadmin6145]

@@GoodGood-vb8gmTalking about slums, Vietnam is a Communist regime. In a communist regime, there will be no homeless people because the state will donate houses to the people, so there will be no slums. Please understand. In countries with communist regimes, I can assure you that they do not have homeless people, so there will be no slums. In communist regimes, all land is owned by the state, private ownership is not allowed. The people are just property of the government.

[@thethaovatoquoc312]

As long as Vietnam is still ruled by the oppressive and exploitive Communist regime, her potential remains greatly diminished. For any 1% that wants to stay, 99% of the population wants to get out, and many have risked their lives doing just that (for example, 39 doomed lives found in UK container truck recently on the news, and that's only what's been reported), unfortunately. Yet another shocking and also recent example is that during the Covid pandemic when almost all countries assisted their citizens with financial aids in one form or another, the corrupt and murderous Vietnamese Commie regime saw it just as another opportunity not to help but to exploit its ruled citizens even more, essentially making money over the corpses of its citizens by presumably killing at least 30-50K of them, due to grossly misdiagnoses and being thrown into barbwired unhygenic living quarters for isolation, so that they had to sleep on concrete floor, even next to filled trashcans, with inadequate toilet, food, water, or medicine, like animals (searching hard enough, one is able to see shocking video clips on Facebook though the regime tried hard to crack down the leaks by Vietnamese citizen journalists), with the fake nostril Covid test kits, mislabeled as approved by World Health Organization (WHO) in Việt Á scandal, colluded by at least 4 different government agencies (Y Tế , Khoa Học, Công Nghệ, Quân y) and the top Politburo members, including Nguyễn Phú Trọng, Phạm Minh Chính, Nguyễn Xuân Phúc. Murderous Vietnamese Commie regime even had a thug murdered Christian pastor Giuse Trần Ngọc Thanh, like it has done with many other pastors across the nation. There is a reason why the current Commie Vietnam ranks at the bottom of the world in freedom of speech, (true) freedom of religion, and freedom of the press, barely above Commie China and Commie North Korea. There is no true freedom of religion in Commie Vietnam, as this corrupt Vietnamese Commie regime only authorized the fake organizations headed by Commie monks, many of whom were Commie Party officials, and those religious organizations not approved to be infiltrated by them or headed by their Commie agents are accused of malicious and nonexistent crimes and banned, with innocent religious leaders arrested and jailed, as in the recent case with Thiền Am Bên Bờ Vũ Trụ, a harmless Buddhist meditation monastery, for simply having many followers (hence, more influences that the regime fears it can't control) than the Commie Party's officially approved ones. Similarly, its passport ranks at the bottom, 89th out of 111 countries for a reason, barely above North Korea 104th rank. even below many African nations. For comparison, South Korea is at 2nd rank. That's what Republic of South Vietnam would have likely been ranked among at least the top 10 had it not been invaded and occupied by the North Vietnamese Commie terrorists, aided by Commie Soviet and Commie China. Search "cuop dat dan" (meaning "land-robbing of citizens") to see millions of footages across the country from North to South, spanning for decades, dated back to Ho Chi Minh's bloody land reform 1953-1956 that killed nearly 1 million North Vietnamese in only 4 years, or 250K people brutally slaughtered in torturous painful deaths (like being shot, stabbed, mutilated while being alive, or heads being plowed over by water buffaloes while bodies being buried underground) each year on average to rob their lands and homes. Even today, if the rightful owners refuse to have their homes or lands robbed, the ruthless Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime simply jail or massacre them, have tractors run over their bodies or openly assassinate them in their own homes. When it comes to robbing, these barbarian Vietnamese Commie bandits even prey on each other, just as the recent case with then 84-year-old Mr. Lê Đình Kình, a 55-year-Commie Party veteran from Dong Tam, near Hanoi, that got shot dead at 3am in his own home by the Vietnamese Commie terrorist regime. When his wife Mrs. Dư Thị Thành refused to lie about the incident as ordered, the Vietnamese Commie terrorist police brutally tortured her (see more details from "dandongtam" on Facebook). The corrupt Vietnamese Commie government officials routinely dine on lavish gold-plated Salt Bae steak $100K per meal with blood money not just from taxpayers but also from robbed-lands and robbed homes recently drew international condemnations, while many Vietnamese citizens, including elderlies in their 60's and 70's as well as kids as young as 6's to 16's selling lottery tickets on the streets to survive on $2-3 per day. Even Phạm Nhật Vượng the richest man in Vietnam (via his VinGroup) made the bulk of his wealth mainly by colluding with the barbarian Vietnamese Commie regime in selling their robbed-lands from Vietnamese citizens. Travelers to Vietnam in her current form (not at all like this before the Communists took over) should keep this in mind. Behind the beauty of the land and smiling faces at popular tourist destinations, there are a lot of darkness and tears, bloods, sweats, sorrow, horror, and sufferings all over the country.

You're profoundly wrong. SG's govt is placing a lot of their own money into VN. SE's shopee and Grab are staples in VN, none of which are either US or European. There are also local brands like Charles & Keith, Breadtalk, street food from Singapore that have huge presence now in VN. I think you have very limited understanding of what's happening. VN will lure EU and USA funds sure, but they are not a big part of it and don't really need a lot of them. Don't always overestimate the importance of Europe or US in SEA.

*Not exactly Singaporean businesses. Due to some policy, business conditions and tax issues, Western businesses establish a company in Singapore and through that company invest in Vietnam. Just like Vietnam's Vinfast established a company in Singapore, then that company invested in building a factory in the United States, not the parent company in Vietnam investing in the United States.*

[@thethaovatoquoc312]

VinFast front model and logo were exact copies of China's Changan Automobile back in 1950's. There is a reason why zero Vinfast car was sold in Europe after it failed safety standards there for 5 years after much fanfare for its Paris Auto Show with big ticket hired spokesman Beckham in 2018. There is a reason why Michael Lohscheller resigned as CEO after only 6 months seeing the scam from the inside. VinFast is part of VinGroup whose numerous enterprises ended up being short-lived, including convenient stores, clothe lines, smart phones, rice-cookers, stock-trading platform, gas cars, e-bikes, and soon-to-be electric cars. Even Vietnamese Commie newspapers indicate that Chairman Vuong's real goal is to take this so-called company on US market IPO, sweep the cash, then flee like a bandit. He created the vast wealth for VinGroup only through using VinGroup as a conduit to sell robbed lands of poor Vietnamese citizens by colluding with the brutal Vietnamese Commie regime who directly did the land-robbing. All true. Do your independent research.

So proud, right comrade? Yeah, US is so bad that people worldwide risk their lives to come to US, while Commie Vietnam is so good that 99% of the its population want to get out, and many have also risked their lives to do just that.
