Exercise 11. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D lớn indicate the correct answer lớn each of the questions.

When Malaysia takes the ASEAN chair next year, it will face a huge challenge. Too few of us know enough about this grouping we Điện thoại tư vấn the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. We vì thế not know what it means lớn be a part of ASEAN and why it is important lớn us. At the same time, pressure is mounting lớn reinvent ASEAN lớn make it more people-centric and less government-centric. The Heat speaks lớn Global Movement of Moderates CEO Saifuddin Abdullah on why ASEAN should mean more lớn us phàn nàn just acronyms.

ASEAN people vì thế not feel lượt thích they are a part of the community of Southeast Asian nations. This statement, backed up by survey findings, is pretty bizarre, and extremely hurtful too, considering that ASEAN is 47 years old today. “Interview 10 persons on the Street and you would perhaps get only one of them who knows about ASEAN,” says Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah. This CEO of Global Movement of Moderates (GMM) is not running down ASEAN; he’s confronting the truth as it impacts the project he has been entrusted with. Here’s more, in 2012, the ASEAN Secretariat conducted a survey that showed only 34% of Malaysians had heard of the ASEAN community. This compares with 96% of Laotians. Malaysia chairs ASEAN next year, and GMM is a thành viên of the national steering committee organising the ASEAN People’s Forum (APF), a platíbrm designed lớn bridge the gap between governments and civil society. Never heard of it? You’re forgiven.

The APF actually started off life in the 1990s, except it was called the ASEAN People’s Assembly (APA). It was held back lớn back with the ASEAN Summit, which is held twice a year. The APA is the diễn đàn where 10 leaders of government engage with 10 leaders of civil society in a half-hour meeting. “It was going well until one year when the chairman decided not lớn hold the APA, sánh it was discontinued until 2005 when Malaysia took the chairmanship of ASEAN again and founded the ASEAN People’s Forum (APF),” Saifuddin explains. In a perfect world, forums such as the APF or its predecessor APA would have worked perfectly lớn bridge the gap between government and civil society.

However, as Saifuddin points out, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) oíten vì thế not see eye lớn eye with their governments. For instance this year, Myanmar is chair of ASEAN and in the APF, three thành viên nations – including Malaysia – decided not lớn recognise the CSO leaders chosen as representatives sánh the APF did not take place. “This is where the GMM wants lớn play a role in ensuring that this situation does not arise again,” Saituddin says.
