I truly applaud the people of vietnam. After visiting HCM, my perspective on vietnam change completely. Like many others, I dont have high and good thoughts of them in the past. Having gone thru wars for so many years, and seeing their very positive hardworking attitude, they are the next rising sun.

I do share the same sentiments as you. before i went to Vietnam, i have an impression that its a war torn country where the people live in poverty. Upon arriving in Vietnam some years back, my idea of them changed drasticially. They are much better than what we thought.
As for positive working attitude, i do want to voice some disagreement on that. In terms of productivity, they are still some distance from the developed countries. Maybe they are very much used to the communist system, they are really a bit lazy.
The Vietnam govt's positive attitude in attracting investments is something that's good for the country. Its surely the next rising country in the region. Singaporeans just need to look beyond the shore of changi. The world is not singapore and singapore doesn't set the standards in the region nor world.
