Welcome to RU-vid Channel of ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute (ISEAS).
ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute (ISEAS) 尤索夫伊萨东南亚研究院, formerly Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, was established as an autonomous organisation by an Act of Parliament in 1968. It was renamed ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute in August 2015 in honour of Singapore’s First President, Mr Yusof Ishak.
ISEAS is a research institute based in Singapore and dedicated to the study of socio-political, security and economic trends and developments in Southeast Asia and its wider geostrategic and economic environment.
*Indonesia may need decades or more than 100 years to become a developed country, maybe it won't even happen at all* . Because in Indonesia corruption and misappropriation in the Indonesian government are commonplace. And in the current era, corruption is felt to be more numerous and widespread in various sectors. Just imagine that even when it comes to selling privately owned land, Indonesians can be extorted by corrupt authorities for up to 30% of the selling price. I think it is very difficult for a country like that to become a developed country.
KJ speaks well, but he is winging it abit. His thesis is defective. Anwar is not just a pretty face, he is also an old hand, e.g. his charm offensive in the PAS states will have some impact. He's running multiple battles, coalesing support to keep the Unity Gov, fending off constant racial and religious rhetoric from the other side whilst trying to hold on to PH values. He could have taken the easy route like all the rest of them and take the Malay community's side, promise the moon, stars, etc hoodwinking and enriching himself. His archilles heel is Zahid Hamidi, who is not liked by many within the Malay community.
In response to Chan's question who can take leadership to develop multi-polarity, I would have thought no one in South East Asia has that capability. But ASEAN itself is the ideal institution to take the lead.
9:15 UMNO has never been racist? That's laughable. UMNO's always had a two-faced propaganda machine and uses the narrative that works best for them when they want. For example, one, for when it's GE time and they need MCAs and MIC's votes, or, during international interviews like this. The other, peaks at every UMNO GA, when rallying calls for Ketuanan Melayu and keris kissing go unchecked by the Supreme Council.
American system base on laws but laws that only benefit the Yankee. These laws had been abused by America to cause social disorder in the world and to breed corporate corruption.
As long as the world as a whole and could reach common prosperity, it doesn't really matter which country is the leader. It is like which country is the leader of ASEAN? When countries are working together, the leading one is just like an acting chairman of a meeting. Rules and decisions are making together.
BG-Ministerial Yeo could be too hopeful of the US-Western’s wisdom to accommodate multipolarity. With current Biden and worse upcoming Trump with an anti China/ Chinese agenda, it is highly unlikely. Besides George would have known better being a Catholic that the Bible does not compromise on acceptance of others other than for purposes to convert more followers eg the pope giving exception to the Chinese for ancestor worship in 17th Century. Other than that the evangelistic Americans have no space for non-believers of liberalism and in democracy as defined in American interest.
Good that the world is not one mountain and countries are not tigers. If one mountain could not have two tigers, tiger would be extinct already. We are all in the same boat. ☺️
@@cinpeace353 George Yeo loves China. He points out what the bad things the west had done. But china is a rising angel? He never talked about china's terrible recent past. He believes that the Ukraine war has given china some extra time to take Taiwan. George Yeo is a Chinese supremest
The future belongs to the west. The future is liberal democracies with mixed economy that respects human rights. China is a long way from this. China should have condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It did not. So it is likely that china will invade Taiwan. Singapore should either condemn the invasion a 100% or will become a new Hong Kong to china. It's most likely china would get Singapore to be absorbed by Malaysia. China cannot tolerate a Chinese country which have an alternative vision to the Chinese people. George Yeo a Chinese supremest cannot understand this
Yes, everyone is paying for American expenses. Americanos keep printing free money 💰 🤑 💸 for themselves without working, one day people will wake up!? Now,they already woken up. Especially that people saw what americanos politicians are doing, in their destructions/destroying of countries n the people's lives n livelihoods, just for its own selfish greeds. With truths of the anericanos lies exposed, eg by Edward snowdon, julian Assange, Twitter Files etc..., the world could see the lies, cheats n assassinations..., the evil plots/deeds. These collective west led by America govt/politicians are not trustworthy nor honorary leaders !!!
George has given a fantastic preempt of the Rise of ASEAN .ASEAN itself is already a multipolar value circle coupled with the unavoidable value chains of a Rejuvenating China ( unstoppable) n Indus being two great civilization states that lived in harmony for thousand of years until the onslaught of nation buildings manifested by imperialistic colonization n racial supremacism by White Evangelical Culture to dominate .. Overall the Asian Century is inevitable because of the diversity n culture of harmony among races.. ( cultural superiority exist but not in the dictate to conquer n dominate by aggression by the pirates culture of the West.... ASEAN itself will be smart n pragmatic enough to aim for long term sustainability instead of the zero sum game playbook still evident by Western Collectives dictate while having the Few Asian Pariahs icon of Japan n Korea ..possibly Vietnam n Philippines... The way forward, ASEAN must maintain its balanced n non align geopolitical policy but use economic imperatives as the priority..
You must be a Charlatan if your expensive training at the ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute does not enable you to discern the abuse of scientific terms like our regional "DNA" and the entertaining "Emperor curing" stories well practised on the diplomatic cocktail circuit by George Yeo. Do you base your worldview on this voodoo science? Remember the ugly vile racial cleansing that periodically reoccurs in ASEAN nations. The claims of George Yeo being a "Great" thinker notwithstanding. His strawman arguments about the West & America are weak and POV unsound. It is fine for the diplomatic cocktail circuit and crass entertainment at chitchats. A student of applied history with any interest in preparing for the future would do better to read more and ignore this silliness and misdirection! Better yet - write a rebuttal with an exposition of the facts. Beware of claims of expertise based on incumbency.
In South East Asia there is one country that threatens the interests of the regional states and another country that does not. If this region failed to appreciate this fundamental differences, I think whatever policies that come out of South East Asia are that will not survive context with the reality. - Dr Ashley Tellis
If Asean can't even get a singable tune or assemble an Asean committee to modify one, how can it aspire to have an identity or to overcome contentious issues? It's time to get that started. Apart from songs and sports, there must be many more creative things that can be done to forge an Asean spirit. Ground up is as important as top down.
The relationship with US is a military one. US wants more bases. It doesn't talk of trade and investment. China does the opposite. That's why the Indonesian and Thais gave such honour to Xi. Nobody mentions how Biden was welcomed in Bali. It was not very welcome.
Everyone is distancing themselves away from the US as US is behaving like a mafia who lies, spread misinformation, false accusations and threaten others. US is a warmonger who funds chaos and wars throughout history in order to contain other countries progress.
Once you spend an entire career indoctrinating others with a deeply flawed model of diplomatic agency, with the fragile set of necessary cognitive dissonance required of it, there really is no real chance of an adjustment is there? (or risk the whole deck collapsing at the slightest of touches). Classic case of a tail believing it ever had a chance to wag the dog as it ballooned to dwarf it in size. Still believing that it’s possible to have its cake and eat it too, incredible. Perhaps it’s not post-colonial infantilism but Stockholm syndrome. This decade should be interesting times indeed.
McKinsey's Global Net Wealth Report 2022 puts No1 China at usd120 trillion, No2 USA usd89 trillion smaller by 30pct. The Loser must not be sore, eating sour grapes is an unpleasant sight.
I believe already agreed in principle to be its 11th member. I do believe the country offers a very unique opportunity for ASEAN due to its culture as well as lessons to be learnt from its rapid progress in their nation-building effort
班玉 The problems is that the ASEAN members are not stands up counter the US/UK/Europe's "Divided and Conquer", only Prof Kishore Mahbubani speaks loud and clear from allowing the west bashing china without any counter attacking. If those ASEAN wishes to stay in between China and US, and dare not challenge the west for their evil agenda, that is, break the ASEAN apart, that eventually the ASEAN will be broken up by the WEST. Due to the ASEAN's weakness not dare to stands up against the West. Only one voice from Prof. Mahbubani not sufficient dealing with the coming Tsunami from the West. That is, unless the ASEAN made their standing loud and clear and let the US/allies understood, that the ASEAN will always be with China in spite of any event takes place. That the US/UK/Europe will never give up for this piece of “Fat Meat” of the ASEAN. If they are made aware that ASEAN is stands between two Nations, that the US believe they have 50% chance to break the ties. They will do everything to reach their goal.
The 2nd guy, DR. Evan Laksmana didn't learn anything from Scholar Kishore Mahbubani, that first open his mouth, he kept apology to all the directions. ASEAN MUST speak as truths, as facts, as powerful as Prof. Mahbubani countering the West Journalist's biased questions bashing China. Mr. Mahbubani spoken loud and clear and immediately put those propagandists reporters on their place and actually corrected their fraudulent statement. All the pundits, Scholars, experts and politicians should follow suit behind Mr. Mahbubani and bravely speaks the truth and hopefully silenced the west falsified mouth piece malign China. When the west attacking China, they are actually attacking ASEAN all together. Stands up, Speaks up and shape like a BIG MAN, not bow to the US/UK/Europe's atrocities around our world.
