KUALA LUMPUR: The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) should go further in its integration efforts, including aiming to be "100 per cent tariff-free" within its free trade area, said Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Monday (May 26). 

The 10-member regional bloc also can deepen collaboration with external partners, both existing & new, amid an increasingly challenging global environment, Mr Wong said on first day of the 46th ASEAN Summit in KL.

This is like a slap on SAO Trump face 

PM Wong tells PAP MPs to take ownership of issues, as effective advocacy goes beyond speaking up.
