9752/02/HCI/PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION/2018 1 Section A You must answer Question 1. THE ENLARGEMENT OF ASEAN 1. Read the sources and answer the questions which follow. Source A It is possible if Vietnam changes its attitude towards neighbours and does not think any longer of invading countries in order to install a government that is friendly. Ideology is not something that is as divisive as it was before. At one time it was unthinkable for Malaysia to have diplomatic relations with any communist country. Now we have diplomatic relations with every communist country. So if Vietnam subscribes to the ideas of ASEAN, the system of government it practises should not be something that stands in the way of their becoming members of ASEAN. I should imagine that eventually they, too, will copy the market economies of ASEAN and they will be less ideological. We do not wish to export our beliefs to other nations. If they want to learn from the moderate attitudes of ASEAN countries, they are welcome.” An excerpt from a television interview of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir Mohamad, 1988. Source B International relations are being reordered as a result of the profound and dramatic changes in the world. A new relationshi p between Vietnam and ASEAN is emerging against a very different world backdrop, a world without the Cold War. Singapore welcomes Vietnam’s desire to accede to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation. Constructive relations between Vietnam and ASEAN can eventually lead to a more relaxed strategic environment in Southeast Asia as Vietnam’s economy and policies become more compatible with the ASEAN’ s countries. This will mean peace and prosperity for our peoples. I am confident that Vietnam, Singapore and ASEAN, will work together to bring this about. An excerpt from a speech by Goh Chok Tong at a state banquet in honour of Mr Vo Van Kiet, October 1991.
