I think I described it but if you’ve been to these places then what you see is: - many things are gated. Armed security that is clearly present in places you wouldn’t expect is fairly common. - shanty towns abound. All over the near outskirts of Johannesburg for example are established shanty towns where housing is thrown together with sheet metal, etc. Favelas in Brazil aren’t much better. - pockets of great wealth and prosperity surrounded by disorder and heavy violent crime. This has become very common in these places. - inflation due to populist government policy. This has now started happening here. Too soon to know if it’s a trend or a blip. Singapore and Malaysia are different places. Since Singapore left in the 60s and went under new management they have thrived.
