That is why you don't know much abt int'l economics to make those baseless assumptions!!!(That is not offensive!!!!) At least I have a degree in economics from UK, but I still dun make assumption unless with proven facts and statistics.( my education demand that!!!) Countries which are small & w/o natural resources has make into top 20, and that is not just by your simplistic reasoning but also many other factor, otherwise many countries will make it, no? As, I said, FDI inflow is based on the best investment opportunity available and that encompassed many other factors. Anyway , this is not the topic of this thread, I will end this disscussion unless you want to continue with another thread. Cheers

Well, besides CT work why not anti-piracy actions too. |

Command is about authority, about appointment to a position. Effective leadership is different. It must be learned and practiced in order for it to rise to the level of art. You must love those you lead before you can be an effective leader. You can certainly command without that sense of commitment but you cannot lead without it; and without leadership, command is a hollow experience. .. a vacuum often filled with mistrust and ignorance.

Are Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia doing their best efforts in curbing piracy in the Malacca Strait? I don't even think these three countries are coordinating their anti-piracy operations very well. It seems only Singapore is very active in patrolling the strait. |

From what I know all countries in the area have anti-piracy efforts. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be well coordinated. There was once a proposal to set up a sort-of security force for merchant vessels but it somehow fizzled off. I too was contemplating on entering on such a business but it seemed the capital for such a venture was beyond my means. Another idea on the Thai and Filipino naval cooperation is to test each other's strengths and weaknesses. Like evaluating the security of each combat group or even the bases themselves. |

I think both Malaysia and Indonesia like us are having problems too. The IMB Piracy Reporting Center is based in Malaysia. http://s3.invisionfree.com/Defense_Philipp...?showtopic=1333 http://s3.invisionfree.com/Defense_Philipp...?showtopic=1426 |

But what I would like to have as a start off for Thai and RP cooperation is on a possible exchange program for ground pounders. Let's say a platoon of SpecOps from each. The cost would be almost negligible as each would be hosting for the said guests. They get to go after the druggies hiding out in the bondooks. During the program the two parties get to exchange ideas on how to best approach the problem, which both countries are tackling, how their equipment holds up. How to best survive in a different although somehow similar environment and how to interact with the locals - which is important if time comes and each needs to come into aid for the other. They could also get feedbacks as to how equipments that they don't have back home work on the field (actual reports and not varnished ones). |

How about a counter-terrorism excersice with the Royal Thai Navy SEALs and the Philippine Navy SEALs? According to the "Encyclopedia of World's Special Forces," that the RTN SEALs have one of the toughest training in the SEA region. And the Philippine Navy SWAG has a 80-90 percent dropped-out rate. I'm sure the RTN Seals and Phil SWAG could learn from each other from dealing with terrorisms and insurgents. |

Definitely! And not just our frogs but also our army and marine boys. Wouldn't it be nice to let our Scout Rangers buddy it up with the Thai Rangers? |
