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

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

ASEAN is split between pro-US and pro-China

All trying to get d better over each other. Just showing a facade of unitedness via cooperation.
