“Regional community-building will top the agenda. Malaysia will preside over the organization during a critical time this year in which it is expected to form an ASEAN Community (AC) by December 2015. While ASEAN elites have long been skeptical that the deadline will be met, Malaysia will help formulate the “post-2015” ten-year roadmap for this community-building from 2016 to 2025. Work on this has already started, but it will nonetheless be a huge task for Malaysia.”
