In unity there is strength, but you hardly feel that in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. ASEAN has been ineffectual in its efforts to jump-start democratic reforms in Myanmar. Efforts to present Southeast Asia as a single trading bloc and tourism destination have been an uphill struggle.

                    [Summary] => Early Malay history records state that Singapura was founded in the 11th century by a mighty Sri Vijavan ruler, Sri Tri Buana, Prince of Pelambang. The prince chanced upon the sight of a great lion guarding the mouth of a river. To the Sri Vijayans, the lion was a powerful omen and a symbol of royalty. Sri Tri Buana gave his new capital Singapura the monicker "city of the lion" and moved his royal court to the island.
