	East Asian Tigers
		The East Asian Tigers are the economies of Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Singapore.
		It is important to note that until the mid-1970s it was not clear that the East Asian Tigers were a particular area of fast growth and that the Tiger development model produced superior results to either neoliberal[?] (US-backed policies), Soviet, or import substitution development models.
		Furthermore, each of the Tigers was an artificial polity severed from larger neighbors—Communist China in the case of Taiwan and Hong Kong, Malaysia in the case of Singapore.

	Tigers, Carnivores & Asian Forests - National Zoo\| FONZ
		Tigers are such splendid and powerful predators that our vision of this top-down process drives our notions and emotions about them and has obscured and delayed our recognizing the tiger’s vulnerability to eroding ecosystems through the depletion of key prey populations.
		The survival of tigers is further compromised in the source-sink conditions created at the hard- and even soft-edges of isolated reserves.

		Tigers in Asia were a symbol of strength and royal power and were used as "executioners" in Asian courts.
		Tigers were treated as God by many of the forest dwelling peoples of India and great temples and shrines were constructed to worship the tiger.
		Tigers very rarely become man-eaters, as they instinctively avoid humans but well documented accounts, of including man in its diet, have inspired many legends and intensified the mystery of the tiger.

	Finance & Development June 1998 - Aging in the Asian Tiger Economies
		IN THE SWIRL of commentary on the Asian tigers in recent years, one facet of their longer-term prospects not often remarked upon is that their populations are aging.
		Reflecting the heavy GDP weights of China and the East Asian tigers, the overall national saving rate of the Asian tigers is clearly projected to fall during this period.
		For China and the Southeast Asian tigers, where coverage rates of social insurance programs are less extensive and benefit rates are lower, the projected worsening of the public sectors' financial balances is much less (in the absence of policy changes broadening social insurance commitments).

		Tigers are polyestrous but most commonly conceive after the monsoon rains; the majority of cubs are born between February and May after a gestation of three and a half months.
		In one case, the additional tigers were offspring from several litters of the one who had made the kill.
		Superstition has surrounded tigers for centuries; necklets of claws are thought to protect a child from "the evil eye", whiskers have been considered either a dreadful poison (Malaysia), a powerful aphrodisiac (Indonesia), or an aid to childbirth (India and Pakistan) and the bones, fat, liver and penis are prized as aphrodisiacs or medicines.

		Sources confirmed the figure is about $1.5 million and comes with the Asian group buying a "significant minor holding" in the club that was valued at $2.4 million last year when the present owners bought in to stop the broke Tigers folding.
		With several Tigers' NBL games planned to be telecast, similar opportunities exist, especially if the new partners can lure a member of the Chinese national team to the Tigers as an import.
		Meanwhile, the Tigers, buoyed by centre Mark Bradtke's recovery from a back-related hamstring injury, have a new concern - athletic forward Neil Mottram could not train yesterday because of a "corkie" between the knee and ankle on the outside of his left leg.

	The Tigers of Minnesota
		Two tiger maulings in Minnesota in recent weeks testify to the growing numbers of privately-owned wildcats in the U.S. On April 27, a Minneapolis woman was seriously injured after being attacked by four tigers while cleaning their pen at a private property near Frontenac.
		More than 600 tigers and other wild cats were confiscated in the U.S. last year, with roughly half that number euthanized to test for rabies or after no suitable sanctuary could be found for them, according to Ron Tilson, the director of conservation at the Minnesota Zoo.
		The population of up to 10,000 privately-owned tigers in the U.S. began, wildlife experts believe, in the 1970’s when parents from the wild were mated who originally were smuggled into the U.S. from Asia, or were illicitly sold from traveling circuses and zoos to unscrupulous entrepreneurs.

	Recovery of East Asian Economies: Graziadio Business Report
		Until mid-1997, the rapid growth of the East Asian economies was widely regarded as a miracle.
		Given that the exchange rate of the tigers was tied to the dollar, and the growth rate of their economies was strong, they looked very attractive.
		The question is whether the tigers will decide to stay in the arena and compete in the free market or will be tempted to crawl back into their dens and hope for a different kind of miracle.

	How the south-east Asian tigers were tamed
		Asian values — however they may be defined — were suddenly hyped as a key to progress for non-western countries.
		The Asian values that these leaders expound have little to do with the lifestyles of more than half of the region’s population, who have little more in common with non-Muslim Asians than westerners.
		But when the ‘boom’ came, Asian nations also began to indulge in "stock market" economics, in which growth and prosperity calculations are based on the value of stock markets rather than real life economic indicators.

	Why the Asian Tiger Economic Miracle Is An Endangered Species
		In the aftermath of the December 1994 Mexican peso crisis, the most aggressive promoters of the ``Asian Tiger'' economic model have been the London-centered financial oligarchy, with Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Kenneth Clarke and European Union Vice President Sir Leon Brittan playing key roles.
		The magnitude of the cannibalism resulting from the ``Tiger'' model was made public in 1995 during the proceedings of the Third International Conference on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific, which took place in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
		The authors of the ``East Asian Miracle'' also know that the alternative to the ``Asian Tiger'' model, exemplified by the ``full set'' economic model we saw before, is the most successful model of economy ever created.

	East Asian Tigers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The four Tigers share a range of characteristics with other Asian economies, such as China and Japan, and pioneered what has come to be seen as a particularly "Asian" approach to economic development.
		Second, Taiwan, and for that matter all four of the Tigers, benefitted economically from previous foreign rule or influence, whether it was British commerce in Hong Kong and Singapore, or Japanese industrialization and American land reform in Taiwan and South Korea.
		Furthermore, three of the Tigers were artificial polities severed from larger neighbors—Mainland China in the case of Taiwan and Hong Kong, Malaysia in the case of Singapore.

	Asia: Industrial Policy to Entrepreneurship
		The Asian Tigers were national economies—especially those of Taiwan, Korea, Singapore and Malaysia—that boomed thanks to government-led industrial policies and booming export markets.
		While it is too soon to proclaim a consistent trend in embracing entrepreneurship among key Asian nations, all of the region's governments are undertaking new policies to encourage entrepreneurs and to support small and medium-sized enterprises.
		Asian governments have been reluctant to embrace such approaches in the past.

	Washington Times Editorial hits Sri Lankaâ€™s Tamil Tigers again \| Asian Tribune
		In his annual "Heroes' Day" statement, the leader of the terrorist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, Velupillai Prabhakaran, attempts to shift blame for the conflict that is tearing apart the small South Asian country away from his violent rebel group and onto the Sri Lankan government.
		The Tigers' only goal, rather, is the division of the small country that results in a disproportionately large autonomous Tamil state -- an arrangement that is unreasonable to expect the Sri Lankan government to accept.
		As it remains clear that the Tigers are committed to the violence that has marked the last two decades of conflict in Sri Lanka, it becomes increasingly important for the United States, the European Union and Canada to continue to crackdown on Tiger operations and fund-raising in the West.

	Asian Tigers, US property crash - Money Week
		In the aftermath of the 1997-1998 collapses, a number of the Asian Tigers realized that part of their vulnerability lay in excessive dependence on exports for economic growth.
		In any event, the Asian Tigers remain dependent on exports, most of which, directly or indirectly, are bought by US consumers who have been the world’s growth engine in recent years.
		It’s possible, then, that the Asian Tigers could once again go their own way, but I suspect that their fates lie in the hands of US consumers, who buy the exports that propel their economies.
