Full Version: If You Ruled Laos

This topic is for Khon Lao only. If you ruled Laos, how would you govern and revive Laos to old golden days of Lanxang?

If I was the absolute ruler the first thing I would do is built our country's infrastructure. We need new roads, buildings, schools, etc. This is how we create jobs.

2nd is foreign investments. We're starting from scratch so we need other countries to invest in Laos. Like the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, I'd make sure these countries who invest in Laos hire Khon Lao and share their technology with us.

The next thing is invite all Lao Nork to help built the country. I'll make dual citizenship available for who still aren't sure of investing in Laos.


The 3rd most important thing to me is re-populate Laos. Remember in the early days of the United States where the government gave away land to people of White European ancestry.

That's what I'll do with Muang Lao. Our country is very underpopulated. I'll give free land to people of Lao ancestry. We need more Lao people to built and run the economy.

The next thing important thing is built our country's military. We can't rely on anybody but ourselves. Look at Israel for example. It's a small country but have enough fire power to blow the entire Arab world off the face of the planet.

If our country have a strong military, the Thais and Vietnamese wouldn't take advantage of us. That's for sure. So building a strong military is really important to me.

I think I cover pretty much everything. Feel free add your input. How would you rule Laos?

First you can't really bring back the Royal king and Queen of Laos since they need the people full and life long trust within the country. Second the only way I think will work for kon Lao is multi-party since we like to listen to all party and side and we are good at having conversation about politic and the people that vote. And 3rd we must accept multi ethnic and those who are apart of Laos should be accepted as a national citizen and bring in education through out the world on science and technology. But these are only some suggestion which I don't want list too much and I think is the best way to show the world how vibrant we are and energetically proud people and the country.

Laos is a multiethnic country. The Hmongs and Khamu, the 2 largest minority group are represented on our currency.

Corruption is probably the main problem facing Laos right now. It's nearly impossible to fully get rid of corruption, but the question is, how do we minimize it.

I think if LPDR Gov. do a community ethnic show and celebration would work great! And this celebration is about learning from each other and switching idea and many more. And also teaching the law of the land to be more logic in there action and keep Laos clean and respected. I think we need to start by respecting other ethnic and to be more open minded at the same time. In time and generation this will build our country into a great one and a will respected country and the people. beerchug.gif

Who say we don't respect minority groups in Laos? Minorities groups in Laos have it better than any other countries. The Hmong in Laos have it better than the Hmongs in Vietnam and China. In Laos, the Hmongs and other groups are not forced to assimilate into Lao culture like other countries.

It was a general question and I answered it as bluntly as I can. In order for Lao to make moves in the right direction, they would have to stop lip locking Viet d!ck.

Well from experience some Hmong thinks we don't respect Hmong or any other ethnic. And this was a face to face encounter so I know what I am talking about personally. But I might believe it is because of the Secret CIA war and there Hmong elder talk about there experience during that time. And the younger generation just mis-leading the whole stories why they experience this war?

Laos government cooperates with all of her neighbors. In term of investment. Jek, Thai and Viet are leading along that line.

To tell you the true, i want to see more action between Laos and Cambodia. From Southern Laos, a ship can go down the Mekong without much obstacles.

I just heard a bad news about Jek 2 weeks ago. Laos tax officials were auditing jek businesses in Northern Laos got poisoned by jek business man, luckily both survive. The provinces officials raid the placed and lock jek up for now.

thats what i dont understand, do some of these Isaan ppl know what happen to them in the Past? Isaan ppl need to show the respect to their past Kings by putting up a statue of King Anou or any other Lao king up in Isaan. Other regions in Thailand respect their past rulers who arnt apart of this Chankri dyansty. Sukothai has a statue of Ramkhamhaeng, Chiangrai has a statue of Mengrai, and am sure Pitsanulok has images of Naresuan there. So why Isaan ignore their history, when will they show the respect other regions show for their history???
Laoism
Us Isan realized who our past kings were, to have respect to our current king we must put those ideas on hold, after rama the ninth will be another story.... asskick.gif

To be honest, I don't think being too free is good for Muang Lao. China is a Communist country and they're doing pretty good.

China, Laos, Vietnam claimed to be a communist state, but when you look closely they're more like a semi communist/socialist with a single party that favor market economy. They pretty much trade with anybody.
Democratic might work better for some countries than others. There are many forms of democratic government. Some countries claim to be a democratic state, but in reality they're something else: example: Syria, Saudi Arabia, Burma, Cambodia.

I am not saying that Democratic government will work perfectly for Laos. After 1953 Laos was a Parliamentary democracy and Constitutional monarchy similar to Thailand today. But many groups were fighting each other, but it happened during the cold war, and Laos was caught in a political scene of the world superpower.

I would like to see more than just one political party rules the country, those parties will check each others the balance of power. Not just one party that decided to do whatever without sharing information with the public. Any dis-agreement or questioning might land you in jail for long time, and that is not cool. I would like to find out more about Laos/Vietnam border issues. But hardly available, because both are allied, and many documents are kept privately.

Sounds like a good idea. We can't have these fukers with hundreds of millions of dollars while the rest of the country is hurting. Didn't NewHak have like 800 million dollars in his bank account before he passed away?

No doubt some of those officials make more money than their rank. Some high ranking officials make about $1000 per month, but able to build many nice houses for themselves and their offspring. But few dare to say anything because of worrying about retaliation.

All of them need to file personal income tax. It gives some of the detail where they get the money and how much they make.

I would create a dynasty or an empire. Laos can be so much more, if we weren't so lazy and divided. Why are we divided by regional provinces? Leu and Regular Lao. XanYang Dynasty.

If I am a Lao ruler, I will join Laos with Vietnam and become one country because Laos and Vietnam work very closely due to the socialist government and Vietnam is rising highly but Laos doesn't get a damned thing lol. embarassedlaugh.gif Recently, South Korean PM will visit Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. Why wouldn't he visit Laos? Because Laos will beg the SK leader to help again like they usually do to Thai government and Thailand helps Laos anyway because they think that Laos is neighbor country. As a result, Thailand become the top investor in Laos and the main trade partner of Laos. It's all about benefits!
Becoming Vietnam territory or Jek territory would be a great idea for Laos.
GutShot
It's quite shady that the Lao government bends over backwards for the Vietnamese and Laos gets back nothing in return. LOL I remember Laos made a deal with Vietnam to excavate the land for oil. Vietnam agreed to do it for free only if Laos gives half the the oil found to Vietnam embarassedlaugh.gif

Your logic make sense in your own world. I guess muslim south want to be part of Thailand so bad so they can get smack in their head. icon_smile.gif

Laos pretty much work with all of her neighbors. South Korean president has the right to visit any country, and look like he's looking for the business and ally opportunity. He might be interested in setting up a go go bar in the muslim south. Helping is part of the community, even thailand ask IMF and Asian development for loans. If you don't want to help is your choice.

Number one investor: China, Thailand then Vietnam along that line. Seriously if Thailand doesn't want to do business with Laos they you guy can close your border. I dare all of you try. Oh wait, Abhasit didn't even say anything, only little monkey around here making noise. embarassedlaugh.gif

That needs to stop. Easier said than done, though. Corruption exist in all countries, but if Muang Lao can minimize corruption, it'll help tremendously. What I see in most countries around the world is the gap between the Rich and Poor. You're either super rich or super poor. There's no Middle Class.

What makes the United States the best country in the world is the Middle Class. And now that the Middle Class is slowly disappearing, we're starting to see the effects.

We're not lazy. If our people were lazy, than explain to me the Golden Age of Lanxang where we were one the richest countries in Asia at our peak.

I agree with you on the divided part, though. After the fall of Lanxang, our people couldn't seem to unite. As soon we gained Independence from France and after a brief period of peace up until 1975, Laos fell again. Lao Khao vs Lao Deng. We became divided all over again.

The Communist closed Muang Lao from the outside world for the next 20 something years. And during that time, we were still at each others throat. And the most recent was with Vang Pao. So when you look at it, there was never stability in Muang Lao. When there's no stability, it's nearly impossible to progress.

You're mis-informed and don't know what you are talking about. Typical of you, it runs deep in your family. Let me give you some truth. embarassedlaugh.gif

Vietnam and Laos have agreed to jointly explore for oil and gas in two province Champasak and Salavan, while British is searching in Savanakhet and Salavan. It didn't say anything about giving up half of the oil if found, plus the contract is about 1000 pages, even though you accusation is true, you have to actually read everything in the contract to catch everything. Make sure to read more than one source, don't just listen to your junta only, because mis-printed happens here and there.

According to Vientiane Time: The contract stipulates that 45 percent of potential profits from the sale of oil and 37 percent of potential profits from gas sales would remain government property.
