SUMMARY:RHT CABA ASEAN Summit 2022
DESCRIPTION:ASEAN member states have widely divergent relations with the US and China. The growing East-West rivalry and the Russia-Ukraine war are creating new tensions within ASEAN. Singapore and many ASEAN member states maintain neutrality in the US-China rivalry despite the occasional incoherent signals from within ASEAN. Coupled with the post-pandemic landscape and the new uncertainties created by European war\, building resilience while recovering from the pandemic has become a top priority for many member states. 2016 saw the inception of the ASEAN Economic Community. RCEP was signed in Nov 2020 and upon ratification\, it will become world’s largest trade agreement by economic output and would increase trade and integration among the Asian economies. As China consolidates\, RCEP may push the world’s factories from China to the rest of Asia; chiefly into the ASEAN member states. \nWill the supply chain dislocation help ASEAN achieve economic integration? Where are the bright spots within ASEAN? Is technology driving the kind of growth we used to see in the last decade? Will ESG and Sustainability remain relevant in ASEAN? New security concerns have arisen recently. How has geopolitics affected the way we do business? The pandemic’s cumulative effects on labour\, capital flows and productivity are challenging. Together with geopolitics introducing inflation and new supply chain bottlenecks; economic life is set to get worse. What can we do about it? \nKey Discussion Topics:\n– ASEAN Macroeconomic Growth Outlooks & Risks\n– Updates & Challenges in Settling Disputes Across China & ASEAN\n– The Rise of ASEAN’s Digital Economy\n– New Opportunities in Energy Security & Investments \nAgenda\n(GMT +8 / SGT)\n\n\n\n10:00AM\nOpening Address\nProfessor Walter Woon\, SC\nChairman\, RHTLaw AsiaIntroduction to RCAS 2022\nAzman Jaafar\nManaging Partner\, RHTLaw Asia\nChairman\, ASEAN Plus Group\n\n\n10:10AM\nGuest-of-Honour Address\nMs Rahayu Mahzam\, Senior Parliamentary Secretary\, Ministry of Health & Ministry of Law\n\n\n\n10:20AM\nKeynote Presentation\nDr Leo Suryadinata\, Visiting Senior Fellow\, ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute (Singapore)\n\n\n\n10:40AM\nPanel 1\nASEAN Macro-Economic Growth Outlooks and Risks\n\n\n\n\nUnfolding Developments in Geopolitics: Navigating the impact on ASEAN economic stakeholders of the continuing sagas of the US-China decoupling and Russia-Ukraine conflict\n\n11:40AMRebel Labs Unveiling\nVictor Tay\, Founder & CEO\, Rebel Labs\n12:00PMPanel 2\nUpdates and Challenges in Settling Disputes Across China & ASEAN \n\nExploring traditional and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms\, including international commercial arbitration\, recourse against arbitral awards and enforcement of foreign judgments\n\n12:30PMLunch & Networking Opportunity\n2:00PMPanel 3\nThe Rise of ASEAN’s Digital Economy \n\nA robust discussion on ASEAN’s digital economy\, covering strategic tech investments\, cross-border data transfers and managing cybersecurity risks across digital trade regimes\n\n3:00PMPanel 4\nNew Opportunities in Energy Security & Investments in Emerging Sectors in the Green Economy \n\nWith the impact of geopolitics and COVID-19 in ASEAN\, what are the new investments in emerging sectors in the green economy and opportunities to enhance energy security amidst a framework of regional cooperation?\n\n4:00PMClosing Address\nTeng Theng Dar\nFounding Chairman\, Asia Entrepreneurs Exchange\nMember\, CABA Advisory Council \n\nOpening Address by Prof Walter Woon\, SC\n\nIntroduction to RCAS 2022 by Azman Jaafar\n\nGuest-of-Honour Address by Ms Rahayu Mahzam\n\nKeynote Presentation by Dr Leo Suryadinata\n\nPanel 1: ASEAN Macroeconomic Growth Outlooks\n& Risks\n\nPanel 2: Updates & Challenges in Settling\nDisputes Across China & ASEAN\n\nRebel Labs Unveiling\n\nRebel Labs Unveiling\n\nPanel 3: The Rise of ASEAN’s Digital Economy\n\nPanel 4: New Opportunities in Energy Security\n& Investments in Emerging Sectors in the\nGreen Economy\n\nClosing Address by Teng Theng Dar

SUMMARY:Unlocking Jakarta’s Potential: Challenges and Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Indonesia\, which is heavily dependent on natural resource exploitation for economic growth\, has significant environmental and social issues – ranked in the top third of countries for climate risk\, with high exposure to flooding\, extreme heat\, and sea-level rise. Indonesia’s transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient future will require huge investments. The private sector will have to play a bigger role in strengthening Environmental\, Social and Governance (ESG) practices to facilitate this transition. \nUnder a recent memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX)\, International Finance Corporation (IFC)\, a member of the World Bank Group\, and with the support from Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO)\, listed companies and prospective listers will be encouraged to strengthen Environmental\, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. The move is expected to boost the companies’ efforts to better weigh ESG issues\, including climate-related risks\, and help them deliver on sustainability goals. This agreement will make listed companies on the IDX more attractive to the growing number of investors looking for sustainable assets. \nJoin this exclusive webinar “Unlocking Jakarta’s Potential: Challenges and Opportunities” to learn the intricacies of doing business in Jakarta and of the regulation update of Jakarta’s Spatial Plan towards strengthening Environmental\, Social and Governance (ESG) practices.

SUMMARY:ONERHT ASEAN Summit 2026
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis year marks a defining milestone as we convene the 10th edition of the ONERHT ASEAN Summit. Over the past decade\, this platform has grown into a trusted regional forum — convening policymakers\, diplomats\, regulators\, investors\, and industry leaders to examine the strategic and economic forces reshaping ASEAN and the wider region. \n\nWe are honoured to welcome Mr Heng Swee Keat\, Chairman of the National Research Foundation\, as Guest of Honour — a reflection of the summit’s standing as a venue for serious regional dialogue at a time of mounting global complexity. \n\nThis year’s theme\, “Positioning ASEAN in a US-China Contest Era\,” speaks directly to the moment. Rather than aligning with either pole\, ASEAN has chosen to steer its own course — deepening intra-regional cooperation\, diversifying partnerships\, and reinforcing the principle of ASEAN centrality even as great-power competition intensifies around it. Next year\, Singapore will assume the chairmanship of ASEAN as the bloc marks its 60th anniversary\, lending the occasion added significance. The summit will examine what this looks like in practice: how the region builds resilience\, secures strategic autonomy\, and translates its independent posture into economic advantage — not least in the fast-moving arenas of capital markets\, private assets\, digital transformation\, and tokenisation. \n\nThe programme brings together senior diplomats\, policymakers\, and industry leaders for a morning of high-level discussion\, followed by an exclusive networking luncheon. Conversations will centre on ASEAN’s ability to chart an independent course within a heavily contested geopolitical landscape\, and on the region’s rising weight in digital assets\, tokenisation\, and private capital markets. \n  \nPROGRAMME  \n9:00 AM\nRegistration & Welcome Coffee \n9:15 AM\nWelcome Address \nMr. Azman Jaafar\, Managing Partner\, RHTLaw Asia \n9:25 AM\nASEAN Plus Business Alliance Launch  \nMr. Azman Jaafar and Mr. Tan Chong Huat\, Co-chairmen\, ASEAN PlusBusiness Alliance \n9:30 AM\nOpening Plenary: Positioning ASEAN in a Fragmented Global Order  \nKeynote Address\nMr. Heng Swee Keat\, Chairman\, National Research Foundation and former Deputy Prime Minister of Singapore \nPanellists: \n\nMr. Azman Jaafar\, Managing Partner\, RHTLaw Asia\nH.E.
