Which is the richest small country in Southeast Asia?

If someone asks the richest place in Asia, many people will definitely think of Dubai. As we all know, Dubai is a local tyrant city that everyone envies, and even many people are shouting to go to Dubai as beggars. But I didn't know there were such low-key local tyrants in Asia. The wealth of this country has surpassed that of Dubai, and it can be said that it is richer than Dubai. This country is Brunei, the richest country in Southeast Asia. What is even more shocking is that one of the founders of this country came from China.

Brunei is located in the southeast of Asia, bordering the South China Sea, and is a small country. This country has a land area of only 5,765 square kilometers and a population of 420,000 (20 16). This country was once a colony of Britain and Japan, and it was not independent until 1984. Brunei is rich in oil resources, ranking second only to Indonesia, and is the second largest oil producer in Southeast Asia. Brunei has thus become a rich country.

Brunei can be said to be a country rich in oil in the world. In the global per capita income statistics of 20 17, the per capita GDP was 278 17.652 USD (RMB/kloc-0 173860.325 RMB), while the per capita income of China in this year was 8865.999 USD (RMB 55,438+02.325 RMB).

Being a Brunei person is quite happy. Why do you say that? Because Brunei is not only a rich country, but also a country with super good welfare. Brunei's livelihood welfare can be said to be world-famous and envied by many people.

Let's talk about medical care first: seeing a doctor in a hospital in Brunei is free! Not only is there no charge for seeing a doctor, but there is no need to pay for the medicine prescribed and the expenses incurred by the operation. Regardless of minor surgery or major surgery, the hospital only charges a symbolic dollar. Before leaving the hospital, the hospital will also provide free nutrition. If the local hospital cannot be cured and needs to go to other countries for treatment, Brunei will reimburse all the expenses incurred on the way, even the consumption of family members.

Education is also free! There is no charge until you graduate from college. If you want to go to college in another country, all your expenses will be reimbursed, and even the plane ticket will be paid for you. As for the problem of buying a house and a car that many people are worried about, we all know that the biggest fear of buying a house and a car is to pay various taxes, but this is not a problem in Brunei. Whether buying a house or a car, the government will give you a large part of subsidies, and the rest can be loaned, which is interest-free. In Brunei, there is no such thing as paying taxes, so no matter what you buy, your personal income is tax-free.

And such a rich country has a very far-reaching relationship with China. Because one of the founders of Brunei is from China. This China native, regarded as an ancestor by the Brunei royal family, is called Huang Ping. Huang Ping is from Fujian. /kloc-At the beginning of the 4th century, Huang Ping was transferred to Tengchong, Yunnan as the company commander, and later sent to Borneo (the predecessor of Brunei). Huang Ping was chosen as the leader of local Chinese because he was very capable and was valued and loved by many local Chinese. We helped the local people and established Brunei together. So in Brunei's royal family, Huang Shiping has a very high status. Now on the national flag of Brunei, two black and white diagonal lines represent Huang Sen and the king.
