The ASEAN Economic Community 2105 would be a reality very soon. However, ASEAN and the Member States need to get the stakeholders, mainly the whole population and citizens of ASEAN to understand what this means to all of us, ASEANITES (new term, which has just been coined one second ago, referring to ASEAN Nationals). Discussions in academic papers and government departments do not mean anything if the academic terms and political jargons are not translated into the layman language: in other words, what is AEC for me? What will I gain from the AEC? Is there any real economic benefits for everyone?
Whilst our attention is now focused on issues at hand such as the MH 370 and MH 17, Gaza and the Palestine, Sulu and the Maritime Boundaries, let us not forget, AEC is a big thing. AEC, once it is fully implemented will have a big impact on how we do things and how we conduct business with our sisters and brother other ASEANITES. At the end of the day it is all about our livelihood in ASEAN and beyond.
This blog will focus on the AEC in the next few months, apart from commenting on other international issues.
Stay focus and there will be several programs to prepare our ASEANITES for the AEC.
