Trump won. What will happen to our nation? The USA has been the main protector against Chinese aggression in SEA, with Trump being all friendly with Putin and Xi Jinping, what will happen to us?
If the Philippines loses the territorial dispute in the South China Sea and its territories fall to China, neighboring countries like Vietnam will be next, possibly followed by Malaysia. Who will be last? Indonesia?
It’s sad to think that these countries are turning a blind eye; they won’t act until they are directly affected.
All opinions are welcome but please respect this post and other people’s opinions
If you were to add any new objectives to ASEAN with regards to current issues revolving South East Asia of today, what would they be?
No wonder The Indonesian media keep comparing themselves with Vietnam.
I hope they didn't accept Timor. Instead, I think we should help our brothers and sisters in Myanmar and Laos first, I don't understand why they would even consider it, TL is even about to run out of oil and natural resources.
Wow look at the amount of support they will give to the US.
One of your members is brutally killing its own citizens everyday while causing chaos and destruction in the whole region. And Asean hasn’t done anything useful nor appears to give a fuk at all. The whole union hadn’t accomplished anything worthwhile in their entire existence. And the Asean doesn’t have any problems with it’s members breaking all kinds of international law or human rights. Then what are they still doing here? Why not just break it off and fuk off since the whole organization is teeth-less and don’t stand for anything good in the world? Rant over.
Filipino here. I know that traveling to Malaysia for up to 30 days does not require a visa. But what if I'm planning to stay in Malaysia for 3 months? I know there's supposedly a practice of leaving for a while and coming back. If I plan to do that, how long do I have to stay away? And if that's not an option, is there any process I can do so that I can stay in Malaysia the full 3 months?
