PM Wong will be disappointed. Singapore now depends on ASEAN more than ever, but it's centrality will not hold. It is each on their own pursuing bilateral deals.

ASEAN’s centrality will not hold

Because Singapore was toooo arrogant and acted like the richest ah sia kia on the south east asia SEA stage.

Wanting others to play nicely with us Singapore, to have team work but always acting like a lao-lan arrogant xia-lan richest big brother flashy status among every other poorer SEA countries.

ASEAN is just a loose grouping. Everyone has their own agenda. When one member commit atrocities, everyone look the other way.

How to stay united? Some ASEAN countries got 0% tarrif some got 10%.
All trying to get d better over each other. Just showing a facade of unitedness via cooperation.

While sg kept dropping behind n regressing while it's neighbors rose more economically n in power.
