Though Countries Riche Of Natural Resources But Remains Poor

In the world, some countries are plenty of great natural resources including locations at the submarine, underground and on the land but those countries still being poor. The underlying resources like ores of gold, gemstones, iron, and other ores located in almost everywhere of the countries like in the sea (crude oil and gas) and river (rich fish). On the land, they notice there are forest and mountains and other agricultural resources. This indicates that some countries in the world, especially countries in Southeast Asia, for instance, Cambodia is really rich of natural resources but they are still in poor condition of living.

There may have many reasons, due to the civil war of the nations which they had destroyed those natural resources by selling them out aiming at fighting like they sold precious stones, luxury woods or rosewoods to the neighboring countries. So in this flashpoint, the natural resources were deemed as a curse because of the armed forces did not use them for the development process of the nation but for a mutual fight, instead of. Another the point, because there is no transparent and better management on the resources. Obviously, they are extremely exploiting of forest, fish, mining and sand resources but the national revenue consists of leakage or rupture in light of loophole of the strong national income financial management.

Corruption is also a part of the social development which is still alarming like in Cambodia. In addition, the education system related to the skills of mining, oil shale, gas exploring including the lode, vein, and seam are limited or they do not have developed this education system.

The poor countries which exist the natural resources could not harvest the huge extraction interests unless they would employ their local workers in sectors of mine exploitation.

Catching a glimpse at Singapore, it does not even exist many natural resources like other countries, for example, Cambodia but they have the initiative, innovative and keen talents and perspectives to control the transparency and accountability of national income and economy so this nation became the economical-influence country in Southeast Asia.

As a whole, they need transparency and high responsibility for the national resources so that it would help the development of the country and stands benefit equally to individuals.
