Vietnam and Singapore are already part of the ASEAN Economic Community, which is a common market agreement signed last year.

Take a look at Samsung andFormosa Petrochemical who invested more than $10 billions into Vietnam. Both companies are having deep troubles for their huge investments in Vietnam.

Samsung is successful in Vietnam. They started big investments long time ago, continue to put more money to Vietnam and the latest investment carried out in December 2015.
