I have friends from Iran and they told me Kuwait or any Arab countries are backward, the reason, Dubai and and many other cities are like that because of Oil in the ground. Look at BBC Document called Tropic of Cancer, they told us in Dubai majority of workers, builders are from India, Siri Lanka and other asian countries...arab themselve are lack of skills and because of the wealth from Oil they have, they can sit and eat and do nothing, that does not make any better than other countries. Iranians are not arab they are Persians, of course Iran is also in Asia. Another document from England told us Kuwait has more fat people than any other countrie in the world, because they just sit and eat, do nothing. The highest building in the world is in Dubai...built from Oil money.
In Kuwait even fishmen now are from Siri Lanka. Kuwait people because of they received from Kuwait government, they are free to sit and eat and do nothing and getting fat.
Because there are more fat people in Kuwait than any other countries in the world Kuwait also has problems with Diabete, lot of kuwait people went blind, lost their arm or leg, or toes because of Diabete, the price of sit and eat and do nothing., and look ugly when you are fat like an elephant. All from BBC document.
I used to work for US Department of Defense right after my military service and was assigned to Kuwait and Qatar for three years.. Yes, most of the laborers were either from poor Arab, South Asian Countries and the Philippine.. Beside welfare and free health care, the citizen of these countries also enjoy the 50/50 profits from letting foreigners use their license to open businesses. Another word, you must have local partner before you can open up business in the Middle East.
I quite agree with you only $19 mils per year is almost notthing compare with the lost. However, the point is, if the projects work, many of Lao grassrot farmers may get this benefit; and this may create more jobs for Lao workers too. Anyway, the gov. should pay more critical attention to studying of pro and corn of the projects from many developed countries before implementation.
All governments in the world must have goals to what they are going to do and acheive. So the same with Laos government this topic set out by Laos government to do thing and acheive its goal whether it could turn out to be succesful or failure is another matter nothing wrong about it. The one who said that Laos goverment lied, they are themselve very primitive people not only narrow minded but primitive. That mean Laos government already tried...trying is better than sit and receive money and eat and do nothing....that's parasites and lazy.
Put another video of how they destroyed rain forest in Brazil and Amazon jungle to raise cattle for beef in Hamburgers, and a bristish couple fight american Macdonal...at the they lost to american fast food, and people still eat beef hamburgers...and become obese, fat...like pigs.
Green Party from Australia, the green agaisnted palm oil industry, they wanted all super markets in Australia banned Palm oil, they wanted no palm oil to be sold in australian super markets, they said this industry created problems for chims ( monkey) destroyed monkees environment. Australian government argues with the green party and said if we banned palm oil in super markets it will hurt poor people in Malaysia more than benefit them. Who they chose people or monkees. At the end they chose people and palm oil still available in australian super markets.
