the IMF, the developed countries, the lenders, they love poorer countries more than these countries you mentioned. bec.they like to feel in power, and they can only wield such power to People like us. Yun Singapore, HK, hello! They live in small garage - area like spaces, and can't even own a car bec, their land area is too small. For me that's not progressive. If you don't have enough room to breathe, wala din yun. It's just for show
