Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 2: Liang Eng Hwa on relevance of ASEAN and its implications
In this new multipolar world, ASEAN must navigate carefully and manage major power competition without becoming an arena for proxy rivalry. As a founding member of ASEAN, Singapore’s strategic space is closely tied to ASEAN’s cohesion and credibility. A strong and united ASEAN enlarges Singapore's diplomatic and economic space, while a divided ASEAN narrows it. How can ASEAN ensure continued relevance and what are the implications for Singapore? MP Liang Eng Hwa raised this issue in parliament on Friday (Feb 27).
