      This region will be the world’s growth engine for the next couple decades, the same way China was since the 90s.

      That’s rough. Aside from Singapore and Brunei which both have unique cases. It is not a very economically productive region. I’m also from a developing country, but the GDP per Capita of these countries is more comparable to some of the poorest states in my country.

      Wow, I knew that Singapore had a fairly high GDP per capita, but I’m surprised by Brunei! Any explanations for this?

      After wwii, the only countries that can move from developing to developed status are from east Asia or with population dominated by East Asians

      Southeast Asian countries are really really really poor than you people think. You visit their touristy areas and think oh it is not that bad but actually really bad. 
      If you go to Japan Korea and now Taiwan you get to see tons of Vietnamese Thai Filipinos Indonesians and Malaysians that working their as migrant workers and staying illegally.
      There is a reason why East Asian countries totally look down on Southeast Asians. Because for East Asians, Southeast Asians are no more than migrant worekrs on their social status.
      SEAs are so corrupted. They failed to develop their industries. I dont think any countries in this are will become developed countries. They are all trapped. They just run economy only through their cheap labors. No technology. No industry. 
      One funny things is there is a huge racism among Southeast Asians and Thai or Malaysia also exploits cheap foreign labors in terrible way

      Underrated part of the world for sure.

      Considering that majority of these countries were former colonies and spent majority of Cold War in various civil wars, it’s amazing how much they developed.

      Indonesia is very impressive considering that they were like the poorest country in Asia back in the 60s
