It has got to do with a good leader with a good vision.

Have you noticed that things have changed dramatically since our current PM, Buasone, has been leading our country? He's young, educated, smart...

In the past we didn't have this kind of leaders. They were great in the war and had done so much to our country, but that doesn't mean that they would be great leaders in a modern/economic world.

Yes ,of course Laos could be able to do the same as the south Korea and Singapore. Watch Cambodia is on her way to be more developed and more advanced in only a few year by the 2015 Cambodia will be out of poverty . South Korea and people of Singapore are just human being like Laotian so any thing they could do so do Laotian.

I hope so and hundred of thousands of elder Laotian specially the retiree Laotian would like to go back and die in Laos. So a lot of Lao young generation who are already successful and well educated love to see Laos to become like South Korea and Singapore and willing to help to develop and come up with the good idea to build and bring the investors from the free world and the west to Laos if there are some compromises and allow them to be dual citizenship. A lot of retiree would be able to retire and spending their pension and social security checks money in Laos.

South Korea and Singapore are democracy and free countries and listen to all the people idea to improve and reconstruct their nation unlike North Korea and Cuba with the failed and corrupted system and do what ever they please regardless of the majority of people are suffering and like it or not . that is the different why North Korea and Cuba will never be like south Korea and Singapore as long as under the corrupted and failed system and no one dare to challenge and change the system. Hopefully Laos will not follow the north Korea and Cuba foot step and chose to take south Korea and Singapore as the model.

One of the well known policy of Lee Kwan Diew, ( I may make mistake of spelling Lee Kwan Diew) to lead Singapour is Social Engineering, which he told young singapourean 'Study Hard, good for your country, good for your future....In Malaysia Dr. Mahatir gave BBC an interview and told them....Malaysia had to use Cheap Labour at the beginning for developping his country....

Laos will definitely prosper like South Korea and Singapore one day. The Lao leadership under the correct guidance of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party are doing a great job in securing and restoring Laos indepedence and Peace in the past decades. At the present our leaders are diligently working on getting Laos out of the least developed nation status by the year 2020. It's just a matter of time. It's a step by step process. The speed of Laos progress and prosperity is limited and determine by geography.

Singapore is an autocratic one party state. South Korea is ruled by the military during its economic miracle. I want like to include Taiwan because its development is very similar to South Korea. These nations do not only invest heavily in their education systems but they also implement successful economic development plans. More importantly, they all believe in the rules of law where graft and incompetent are stamped out. Does Laos has the courage to follow this path.

Date: Oct 3, 2009

Corruption is everywhere. Yeah, even in the land of the Morning Calm. A former South Korean president committed suicide back on June of this year when he was being investigated for corruption. The differences between corruption in the West and Asia is the level of sophistication.

The Lao leadership are very cautions about the level of development and they are carefully studying which model of development is best suitable for Laos. Lao PDR unlike South Korea and Singapore, we are landlocked and heavily rely on the neighboring countries for access to the sea ports. Most of the world trades and commerces rely on shipping.

Agree! There are corruptions in every nations but country where there is good governance and transparency, the rich and powerful do not have impunity. For example, Taiwanese former president, Chen Shui-bian and his wife have recently been sentenced to life in prison on corruption charges.

It is curious if the Lao leaderships are cautious about some of the development projects that they have approved or are considering, eg: Hongsa Lignite Plant, Golden City Botn, Lakxao, or Don Sahong Dam.
Lao citizens must have some avenue of expressing their concern and grievance to some of the projects that will have negative impact to their lives without fear of being labeled as "reactionary" or "criminal elements".

Any way every body have the point of view , corruption is just cancer so it strikes every where and no body know where and whom cancer will be strike. But if the Lao people know and have prove with strong evidents who corrupted and the Lao people should have the power to stop and remove those powerful corrupted officials by laws that just like the other civilize nation. So far none of the Lao high rank corrupted officials who are very powerful people and became multi millionaires and living on the stolen money and bribes ,have not been arrested and prosecuted . So this topic is not about corruption but it is one thing lead to the other in order to reconstruct our nation. Laos is the landlocked country and rely on our neighbor countries and Laos is no different from Austria , Switzerland and luxenberg . Those countries are also landlocked as well but they are well developed and also are the top 10 larger economy in the world with good standard of living and 90% of their people are well educated with professional skill. So Lao government have the choices to pick and choose Austria , luxembourg and Switzerland as model which are also democracy and free countries and then invest more on education. Or Laos government could also pick the south Korea and Singapore as the model and also those countries are democracy and free countries then make the policy with the foreign investors to hire and train the Lao people to become professional skill workers. Laos could not be compared to China because china is big and have plenty of natural resources .Even China economy is the second largest in the world after the United States but China does not spend billion and billion dollars on welfare, food stamp , social security and medicare on 1.3 billion Chinese people unlike the US and the western countries. That is not what Lao people want also . Lao people want good jobs , good living, good health care. good eduction , good justice system one and for all no one above the laws and equal opportunity, human being right with one man one vote and freedom of speech and press. Land lock is part of the problems but also could be resolved . It is all about the leadership and the system how to educate the people and direct the people to the right direction. North Korea and Cuba are not land lock and have plenty of ports and harbours are still poor and their people are starving and living in poverty . Hopefully Lao government does not follow the foot step of north Korea and Cuba who use the failed and corrupted system for many decades.

Austria , Luxembourg and Switzerland also are land lock but those countries are well developed and very good economy and most of their people are well educated . So LPDR have the choices to choose Singapore , south Korea , Luxembourg , Austria and Switzerland.
Yes , of course land lock is the problems but it could be resolved . It is the leader and the policy and system of running the country and lead the people to the right direction. It have been over three and half decades that Laos is still the least developed and the poorest nation in southeast Asia and Lao people are suffering. It took Singapore only 40 years from poor and poverty to the first and the most modern country in the world and and also south Korea only few decades to become the capital city of the digital world. Then Laos should has a look at north Korea and Cuba which are still poor and their people are starving and living in poverty by using the failed and corrupted system. Laos could not depend on the handing out such foreign aid and allow building more casinos and chopping down the rain forest threes and also hydro power dams to be successful like Singapore , south Korea , Austria , Luxembourg and Switzerland. Laos need Brain and mind , science and knowledge to be invest heavy on and to be the skill worker and the manager not only cheap labour and be second class citizen in our country.

Laos is not in Europe....the comparison to Austria and other European landlock Countries is invalid. The infrastructure in Europe is already established and the market is already there.

Laos on the other hand has to get its product to the MARKET. To get to the world leading Market, Laos has to rely on the goodwill of its neighbors to transports Lao goods to the Market. Not all of Laos neighboring Countries are happy to the fact that certain Lao products competes with theirs.

North Korea and Cuba is also unfairly look at. These Countries are not poor by design but made poor by trade sanction imposed upon them by some of the world leading power broker. If they were free to trade and participate in the world economy then you'll see the differences. Know your facts and reasons behind certain could help you understand things better. North Korea and Cuba were not always poor when the Soviet Union and the Socialist World were still active. In fact Cuba and North Korea were leading in the standard of living in their respected region in the past. The unfair trade and economic sanctions imposed upon them poor.

As you could see from the video about South Korea and Singapore could do it why not Laos.Fantasy today will be the reality tomorrow. Those people are nothing but human just like Laotian. If you complain about Laos is the land lock so do Austria, luxembourg and Switzerland. A lot of you always complain about the Thai look down on Laotian . Siamese used to look down and talked trash to the people of Singapore as well 40 years ago that Singapore was nothing but small tiny island and swam and the people of Singapore were low class and uneducated people who were working in the dock for the rich people who own the ship and shipping companies and those people were living like animals 10 to 15 people in one room or living in the boats in slum city of the sea ports. Since 1965 after gain independent from Malaysia . Only 40years later , Singapore have more well educated people, more professional skill workers , bakers , stock brokers , doctors , scientists , professors and physicists , better economy and well developed and the most modern country in the world. South Korea has done the same thing even south Korea were completely destroyed and torn apart by war. Nothing it is impossible in this world. Black people used to be slave now Obama is the president of the most powerful country in the world. So why do you think that Laotian have to follow thailand step by step , we could learn and improve and could be better not to depend on casinos, chop down down the trees and one day the trees will be goine or depend on the handing out of foreign aid for ever that will make laos won;t go no where. Laos need to invest more on education and turn Laotian well educated and professional people not cheap Noe skill labours and second class citizen on our own home land. LPDR must change the policy from not building more casinos to build more schools . Invest more on Lao people and education is the best investment . For you my friend do what ever you please, Lao people have hope and wonderful dream and will make it happen.

Yes , that is right that I would like to show my opinion then is up to you and the other to agree or not , if this point of view is none sense so every body should ignore it. You don't have to show the world your behavior and true personality and character by calling someone name who have some differences and ideas from you that is low , no manager and no class . Of course I know what the word sanction meant but the Kim Jong iL and Raul Castro chose not to be part of the world community and want to isolated from the world . That are their choice to be dictator and violate the human being right and being isolated from the world community. I hope that LPDR would not Isolate Laos from the WTO and the world community and follow the north Korea and Cuba foot step by using failed and corrupted system. KIm Jong Il father transferred the power to him and made the president without the election and now Kim Jong il was sick and will transfer the power to his son and also Fidel Castro had done the same by tarsferred the power to his younger brother Raul Castro and violate the human right so that is bad and corrupted system that the world community would accept. Just remember there only 5 countries that remain communist in the world. So north Korea and Cuba won't have that many friends to trade with any way.

North Korea and Cuba could stop the sanction any time and be part of the world community but they chose not to and let their people starving and poor and living in poverty for decades because they are afraid to lose the power back to the people and be the government elected by the people and for the people.

Well that what the people used to say to south Korea and Singapore. Siamese used to look down at the people of Singapore the same way that Thai Bangkok people made fun and look down at Lao people today so I have to say Thai Bangkok because some Thai people are very good people specially people from Esan and the northern part of Thailand. Only some rich and racist Thai from Bangkok . Siamese used to say that Singapore was just small , tiny island and nothing but swam. The people are living in Singapore were low class people and living like animal 10 to 15 people were living in one room. Well , only 40 years later Singapore is the most richest and modernest in Asia. Cambodia will be more developed and economy large than Laos soon at least ten years ahead of Laos. Why ? because Cambodia join WTO and abandon the Communism . Watch it and see Cambodia will more improve than Cuba and north Korea. for running clear water and electricity and red dust are the same with swam of Singapore and south Korea 40 years ago. The most important that Cambodia is united with the democracy and freedom unless someone would like to destroy Cambodia again.

Hopefully Lao government invest more on the people by educated and training Lao people. Education is the best investment for Laos.

Hopefully Lao government does not follow the foot step of north Korea and Cuba who use the failed and corrupted system for many decades.

This anonymous just want to show only his view, he did not even have good brain, or he just does not have brain to understand the word SANCTION.....which CUBA and North Korea have to face. He did not understand about the real World but his Freedom and Democracy, in fact many countries in South America have this sort of Democracy and they are fighting for their greedy and power not for their country....

Yes , that is right that I would like to show my opinion then is up to you and the other to agree or not , if this point of view is none sense so every body should ignore it. You don't have to show the world your behavior and true personality and character by calling someone name who have some differences and ideas from you that is low , no manager and no class . Of course I know what the word sanction meant but the Kim Jong iL and Raul Castro chose not to be part of the world community and want to isolated from the world . That are their choice to be dictator and violate the human being right and being isolated from the world community. I hope that LPDR would not Isolate Laos from the WTO and the world community and follow the north Korea and Cuba foot step by using failed and corrupted system. KIm Jong Il father transferred the power to him and made the president without the election and now Kim Jong il was sick and will transfer the power to his son and also Fidel Castro had done the same by tarsferred the power to his younger brother Raul Castro and violate the human right so that is bad and corrupted system that the world community would accept. Just remember there only 5 countries that remain communist in the world. So north Korea and Cuba won't have that many friends to trade with any way.

If you come back to LAO and try to spread american freedom and democracy, I can tell you that LAO government will kick you out of LAO like a dog. 100%.
Don't get any hard feeling because it's the truth.

North Korea and Cuba is also unfairly look at. These Countries are not poor by design but made poor by trade sanction imposed upon them by some of the world leading power broker. If they were free to trade and participate in the world economy then you'll see the differences. Know your facts and reasons behind certain could help you understand things better. North Korea and Cuba were not always poor when the Soviet Union and the Socialist World were still active.

Any way every body have the point of view , corruption is just cancer so it strikes every where and no body know where and whom cancer will be strike. But if the Lao people know and have prove with strong evidents who corrupted and the Lao people should have the power to stop and remove those powerful corrupted officials by laws that just like the other civilize nation. So far none of the Lao high rank corrupted officials who are very powerful people and became multi millionaires and living on the stolen money and bribes ,have not been arrested and prosecuted . So this topic is not about corruption but it is one thing lead to the other in order to reconstruct our nation. Laos is the landlocked country and rely on our neighbor countries and Laos is no different from Austria , Switzerland and Luxembourg . Those countries are also landlocked as well but they are well developed and also are the top 10 larger economy in the world with good standard of living and 90% of their people are well educated with professional skill. So Lao government have the choices to pick and choose Austria , Luxembourg and Switzerland as model which are also democracy and free countries and then invest more on education. Or Laos government could also pick the south Korea and Singapore as the model and also those countries are democracy and free countries then make the policy with the foreign investors to hire and train the Lao people to become professional skill workers. Laos could not be compared to China because china is big and have plenty of natural resources .Even China economy is the second largest in the world after the United States but China does not spend billion and billion dollars on welfare, food stamp , social security and medicare on 1.3 billion Chinese people unlike the US and the western countries. That is not what Lao people want also . Lao people want good jobs , good living, good health care. good eduction , good justice system one and for all no one above the laws and equal opportunity, human being right with one man one vote and freedom of speech and press. Land lock is part of the problems but also could be resolved . It is all about the leadership and the system how to educate the people and direct the people to the right direction.

Yes , I agree with you that Norway is good model and also the whole world agree that Norway is the best country to live. So are you sure that Laos would like to bring back monarchy , Norway has the king.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway

Of course , Laos is not America and America is not Laos . What we discuss here is about how south Korea and Singapore have changed and turn from very poor country and poverty to the first world countries in only few decades. Also we know that Laos is land lock and also discuss about Austria, Luxembourg and Switzerland are also land lock so should Laos take them as the model without to be isolated from the free trade countries and the world community. As we know that Laos will not make it along and could not afford to be isolated and be sanction by the world community like north Korea and Cuba. It have been 35 years that Laos is still the least developed and poorest country in southeast southeast Asia.

Having king or not having king has nothing to do much with good governance. You can find state with constitutional monarchy, republicanism, federalism and autocratic (disguised as democracy) form of government all over the world that works well.

Yeah, there are a lot of good model for Laos to emulate but unless the implementations are thoroughly carry out with transparency or the results are measurable and accountable then all these governmental sophisticated sounding policies and plans are just waste of time.

Easy!!! Brothers/Sisters, this is suppose to be'' a Lao community website'' we come in here to see, to read, and to get some knowledge about our country back home as well as lao communities around the world. when we get the news, we talked about the issues, debated an issues, and exchange the idea, Now it' seem to me that some of our Brothers/Sisters here tried to turn this website into the ''Fighting website or the war of word website,'' we as a lao-noks/Lao-nais, need to be calm down of what we were discussed. Remember in this website here, It' doesn't matter how great or stupid our idea is, It is not gonna be affect/effect on how the PDR'S govern the country, Ok. as for Brother/Sister name Khwanjai, you need tobe calm down a little. i understand that you love our countries. ok. sometime you let emotion take over you when you talk. that's why some of the people here including myself kindda misunderstood you, also the way you've talked too, kindda look down on your own birthplace. you know what i'm saying, right. so please be cool and calm before you jump on the issue. and i said the samething to other as well.

By listen to the new ideas and new techniques and new systems are better to repeat the failed system for decades over and over again. Look and the good systems which are already successful and take them as the model. The corrupted and failed system must be stopped in order for Laos to be out of poverty and not to be the poorest country. Invest in the people and educated the people . Laos need more well educated people and skill workers in every fields not only farmers and cheap hard labours . Education is the best investment for Laos.

Of course , Laos is not in Europe but Laos could learn the ways ,they educated their people and turn their people to become skill workers not only to be just farmers and cheap hard labours. We are here not to compare Laos to any country but try to learn and take the countries which are already successful and turn their countries from poor and poverty to become the first world countries in only few decades. How do they do it that what Laos need to follow the right path and not to repeat the same and failed system over again and again.

Agree! There are corruptions in every nations but country where there is good governance and transparency, the rich and powerful do not have impunity. For example, Taiwanese former president, Chen Shui-bian and his wife have recently been sentenced to life in prison on corruption charges.

It is curious if the Lao leaderships are cautious about some of the development projects that they have approved or are considering, eg: Hongsa Lignite Plant, Golden City Botn, Lakxao, or Don Sahong Dam.
Lao citizens must have some avenue of expressing their concern and grievance to some of the projects that will have negative impact to their lives without fear of being labeled as "reactionary" or "criminal elements".

        YEAH....YEAH....I'M CURIOUS ABOUT THIS TOO. WHAT'S UP WITH THESE PROJECTS SUCH AS

I doubt it because I was not born yet . That would not make any different who were corrupted in the past during the royal government or during Lan Xang kingdom. The most important is now and the current Lao government who are corrupted that is matter to the normal regular people , farmers and workers who are poor and try to survived by making a living day by day and try to get the country out off the deep hole from poverty and the least developed . So Jao Boun Oum Na Champassak was he from one of three royal families when LAN Xang broke in three kingdom so that was no wonder that he had hid own castle , wasn't it ? Anyway , Jao Boun Oum is no long alive and no longer in power so what it is matter now ? For All Lao people it doesn't matter what time during the royal government and the current government that corruption are hurting people so that must be stopped. Laos should take Singapore and south Korea to be model .

you can ****t about government wherever you want biggrin but not in public place. we have a right to vote, for example: vote for head of classrom, head Unit, vote for head of village and vote for representative committee for provincial election who represent the province in central government. but as for prime minister and president and other minister. we have no right to vote. disbelief

the new idea from laos is improving, a lot of people have idea, but only an idea. i believe that we get out of poorest and reach developed level soon and that we need support from laonok and international orgs and neighbor countries.
