The only good SE asian country I can think of is Singapore. And even then, that's probably because it's mostly populated by ethnic Chinese.
And a former British colony that they invested in and adopted a lot of British stuff.
How they went from a run down fishing hamlet to a 1st world country in a few decades definitely says something about how you should actually take improving your country seriously, instead of spending all your time blaming your problems on colonialism.
Meanwhile India is also a former British colony, but it's also still a shithole that's let their extensive railway system degrade over the years.
