Interestingly, you will find that successful countries such as South Korea and Singapore all started as poor, underdeveloped countries with little or no natural resources. However, in the initial years of the founding of these countries, they often had a strong leader (called dictator by the west) who had a clear vision for the country and the leader often implemented unpopular policies that would benefit the country in the long run. And of course, to be successful, the leader also instilled values such as diligence, responsibility and discipline in the minds of the people. Not only that, he also invested heavily in the education and skills training of the people as well as improved public infrastructure. All these measures greatly enhanced the overall productivity and competitiveness of the country on the global stage. As the leader often ruled with an iron fist such as quelling dissident voices and jailing his political rivals, western countries and their media usually did not see the leader and his country in a positive light. However, in order to become a successful country, you need such a strong leader that can rally the whole country to move forward together. Now, looking at many countries in Asia, Africa and South America, you will find that after so many years, these countries still remain poor and underdeveloped even though they have democratic elections. The fact is democracy alone cannot solve a country's deep-rooted problems such as bribery, corruption, nepotism, ethnic or religious violence and so forth. Lastly, poor and underdeveloped countries that want to become rich and successful should learn from the success stories such as South Korea and Singapore.
