Malaysia and Singapore: The Orlando of Southeast Asia?

by CNNGo staff

Orlando, Florida. A magical city filled with pricey theme parks, tacky souvenir shops and hysterical children driving their parents to madness with sugar-induced temper tantrums.

Not to mention highly lucrative if you're one of said theme park's investors.
