I have been many times to Singapore on my way to Australia.
Lee brought economical success to the Peninsula as he turned it into
the FINANCIAL HUB of Asia.
May be Ian Khama learned from the leaders of Singapore and makes Botswana an OFFSHORE country,where the wealthy Africans are depositing their assets.
The biggest problem of SMALL countries is the LIMITED MARKET,therefore manufacturing companies are avoiding investing in countries with small population.
Singapore does NOT EVEN have DIAMONDS or other natural resources,but with it's STABLE government policies and offering financial incentives,Lee lured financial institutions from all over the world.
