🇲🇾 Malaysia’s popular holiday island Langkawi, off the state of Kedah, host the ASEAN Summit 2025 this month, attracting 1,000 delegates to three conferences for leaders of the ASEAN 10-nation bloc.

The ASEAN Summit agenda already started with the ASEAN+3 Meeting (Financial Track) from 14 to 15 January on the island. Representatives from three East Asian countries, China, South Korea and Japan, will join delegations from the 10-member countries of ASEAN.

Held in Langkawi International Convention Centre, two other meetings — the ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Retreat from 18 to 19 January and the Special Meeting of ASEAN Senior Officials on Energy from 21 to 23 January — will conclude the summit agenda.

Geographically an archipelago of 99 islands with an area of 478.48 km2, Langkawi is a duty-free island and an archipelago of 99 islands (plus five small islands visible only at low tide in the Strait of Malacca) located some 30 km off the coast of northwestern Peninsular Malaysia. It has its own landmarks, beaches, heritage and natural attractions.

Langkawi played a key role in the Visit Kedah Year 2025 initiative, spotlighting 132 calendar events in the year, including the 21st Langkawi International Regatta scheduled from 13 to 16 February at the island’s Royal Langkawi Yacht Club and the 17th Lima (Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition) from 20 to 24 May 2025.

1965 is over, today marks the start of Malaysia and Singapore’s Second Republic.

Singapore and Malaysia have finalized the creation of a special economic zone that will encompass Johor and Singapore, a 3,500 KM zone that is twice the size of Shenzhen in China, the inspiration for this zone.

The zone will have harmonized regulations and investment codes to entice Singaporean, Malaysian, Chinese, and Western firms to all invest.

It comes attached with a new rail system that will complete next year, meaning these two regions will be a 10 minute train ride from each other, instead of a painful two hour drive.

In the long run this will be seen as a historic deal as it represents Singapore acknowledging that it has run into limits of its growth as an isolated city state.

This marks the start of a confederalization with Malaysia and perhaps in the broader terms, ASEAN, that could end up being a very cool, bold, and weird experiment.
