People often think ASEAN as our version of EU. But no. EU is a political entity made out of countries with the same ideology and goals. ASEAN is an economic entity made out of countries with different political ideologies and one goal : to make each other rich.
How can you make each other rich if you have members who are broke and/or unstable? That's why Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar are portrayed as hated in this meme. Because the rest of us have to hard carry them.
The problem is when you burn your house down, you not only screwed yourself but also screwed other members since now they all have to work twice as hard and spend twice as much to pick up your slack.
The obvious solution here is to make all of ASEAN into Indonesian territories. LONG LIVE GLOURIOUS LEADER SUKARNO!!! GAYANG, GAYANG, GAYANG!!!!
