KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 12 — An overwhelming 80.6 per cent of Malaysians surveyed recently said that Asean is becoming irrelevant as a regional political and economic bloc because it is slow and ineffective in addressing current world affairs after the Covid-19 pandemic, like the war between Russia and Ukraine.
The study tracked the fears of the Malaysian respondents in comparison to the region as a whole, with the top concerns of the average South-east Asian falling towards Asean being slow and ineffective , the region becoming an arena for competition among world powers , and the disunity among Asean member states .
The sense that Asean is becomingly increasingly disunited was one shared by 60.7 per cent of all respondents and may be related to differing stances of member states on world events, the survey found.
