I remember looking at Singapore and Trinidad in particular. They both were ruled by Britain, became independent at around the same time and had the time to produce two generations of the administration class. Furthermore, Trinidad discovered oil on her territory. On the surface, Singapore should have been out-classed. All she has is a harbor. Reality as we all know is quite different.
