The video is about the Burmese military junta General Than Shwe daughter’s wedding back in 2007. People will notice that the wealth gap in Asian communities such as Southeast Asia is really huge. Almost all of the Southeast Asian nations are known for economic inequality, for instance, some of the people are offered with special socio-economic privileges. In fact, Southeast Asian economies are all about the social network because in the end, it’s all about who you know. Hence, it explains the reason why some people are really well-off .The ‘high-so’ people in Southeast Asia must maintain a strong relationship with the government officials or the generals because it is the only way that one can achieve privileges and benefits. High-so people create secluded community for the elite and the super rich and thus, most of the ordinary working class, the middle class and the poor are barred from the community. Hence, it creates the gated communities and the social restrictions. Southeast Asian societies portray the concept of gated communities because the societies are the result of the economic inequality.
