In the wake of the 46th ASEAN Summit that was held in KL recently, the spotlight is once again on regional economic integration—an idea long championed, but unevenly realised. At the centre of this conversation is the ASEAN Business Advisory Council—a body set up in 2003 to ensure the region’s private sector has a direct voice in shaping ASEAN’s economic agenda. So where is ASEAN’s economic integration really headed, and what’s holding it back? On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Tan Sri Nazir Razak, Chairperson of the ASEAN Business Advisory Council Malaysia, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, Council Member of ASEAN-BAK Malaysia, and CEO of Capital A Berhad, and Lim Chern Yuan, a Council Member of ASEAN-BAK Malaysia, and Group CEO of Yinson Holdings Berhad.
