SINGAPORE: NATIONAL INTERESTS ,[object Object],[object Object]

ARGUMENT: .VS BILATERAL & INTERNATIONAL ,[object Object],Singapore, being a tiny nation on the map, it has limited resources, and undoubtedly, limited young talents to be groomed. Thus, regional relations are important in ensuring a constant supply of resources and economic growth and improving Singapore’s standing in the world.

ARGUMENT: .VS BILATERAL RELATIONS ,[object Object],For example, if Singapore was to form a bilateral relation with Malaysia, Malaysia may not meet all the needs of Singapore, whereas in ASEAN, several countries are combined together to try to meet the needs of all the countries; If Malaysia decides to turn against Singapore one day, many problems and conflicts will arise and conditions may worsen, and ASEAN helps to resolve conflicts between them, thus regional relations like ASEAN can benefit Singapore better.

ARGUMENT: .VS INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS ,[object Object],[object Object],Furthermore, countries in UN have a large range of culture and traditions, while ASEAN countries have similar cultures which enable us to understand and get along with one another better, thus putting ASEAN in a much more beneficial position as compared to the UN.
