When we talk about 'poor' for a country we alway refer to the general population. There alway be a certain segment of population which are very rich even in a poor country and that may only be less than 5 percent (or lesser) of the population of the country.
For a country like Vietnam with a big population 5 percent is a lot of people and might be bigger than Singapore population

VietNamNet Bridge – Thousands people pushed and shoved past each other yesterday for a chance to register to buy the Hoang Anh Gia Lai Group’s new luxury apartments. Thousands HCM City residents queued to register and book the right to buy Hoang Anh Gia Lai’s apartments on Nguyen Van Huong Road in district 2, near the Saigon Bridge.
Phu Hoang Anh will have a total surface area of 500,000 sq m and boast 4,000 apartments. The sale price announced by Hoang Anh Gia Lai in September 2007 was $1,000/sq m. However, that may soon increase to $1,500/sq m. Experts all say the real estate market will heat up in 2008 with luxury apartment prices and office leasing fees on the rise. The fact that people scrambled to buy Hoang Anh Gia Lai’s apartments promises a bustling market in 2008.
So bros, if you think Vietnamese are very poor, think twice
