It would have been so nervous because of the recent tragedy incident of Malaysian Airplane MH370.

Also there has been no clear report about what has happened up there and how this has been reported as hijacked. Who is hijacking is also not clearly mentioned in the report.

Hopefully, we will hear the full report about it and it wouldn't scare those who have to fly frequently.

Can you believe that Singapore has the highest internet speed? It's True

Singapore internet speed surpasses all the Asean nations as well as the top internet speed around the world. The data was collected between March 7 to April 5 2014. The test was focused on mainly the average speed of ASEAN Nations and countries around the world. The final result turns out to be quite surprising.

The funny graph of the internet speed of ASEAN nations and International

Among the 10 ASEAN nations or 11 to be counted for the newly state, East Timor, seven countries are under average speed apart from the three other nations, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The only country that is above the average internet speed in ASEAN nations is Vietnam. Thailand is slightly above the world average speed. And Singapore is the top of the rest of the countries.

This might imply that the very small island, Singapore is having more advance technology and more freedom in accessing data faster. It's a surprised to see that United States internet speed is even lower than Singapore! 

I believe that after the forming of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), our ASEAN nations would even move faster in term of economic and advance technology. ASEAN is about to grow!
