ASEAN inferior?

Should Singapore remains in ASEAN?
Latter dont seems a good regional organisation.Most of the countries are inferior Third World countries and whats more even Malaysia is at loggerhead wif us over some issues.
Singapore would have a better prospect if we join the EU,NATO or G8.Made up with superior technology and people(Supercountries with nuclear weaponry that not even one Asian possess),we be better off with them.
Japan's already in the G8.So i dont see distance as a factor of joining. -
It sounds like you are the one with inferiority complex problem.

Govt could hardly afford to pay us back our CPF in 1 lump sum..... still think about joining G8

its better to be on seemingly good terms with everyone rather than be surrounded by enemies.

Most alliances are formed to agree to agree.
ASEAN is formed to agree to disagree. -
I don't see why ASEAN is inferior.

ASEAN needs to drop a few remnants from the past if its to remain relevant.
Firstly, do note that Singapore opposed the formation of the ASEAN Human Rights Commission and has never sent a government representative to the talks for that element. -
Precisely why the EU doesn;t take much note of what outcomes comes out from the Asean meeting, precisely why asean invite the 3 giants from the north east asia as observers in their asean forum to add some 'weight'..Originally posted by LazerLordz:ASEAN needs to drop a few remnants from the past if its to remain relevant.

Why shouldn't it be inferior when nearly half the members or more have governments which are despots? It is essentially a despots' club.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:I don't see why ASEAN is inferior. -
ASEAN has a huge potential.

Unless the majority of ASEAN member states clean up their act, the organisation will not be able to move forward.
The biggest worry is Burma. The people are completely oppressed. Many of them have no choice but to flee.

With great power comes great responsibility. I already shudder at the thought of Indonesia using nuclear energy, not to even mention having nuclear power.Originally posted by ceecookie:Not even a member country of ASEAN has nuclear power...

I read a book 'Restles Souls', about insurgents in Myanmar. It described death on almost every page.Originally posted by iveco:Unless the majority of ASEAN member states clean up their act, the organisation will not be able to move forward.
