The latest ban by the Indonesian government is intended to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/economy\/2022\/4\/27\/indonesia-widens-export-ban-to-include-crude-palm-oil\">put its people and stability of its domestic market consumption first<\/a>. According to the Minister of Economic Affairs, the ban would last until the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/asia\/indonesia-palm-oil-export-ban-refined-crude-airlangga-hartarto-jokowi-2651316\">country\u2019s cooking oil price fell below USD 0.97 per litre<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indonesian President Joko Widodo has recognised the importance of exports for Indonesia\u2019s economy, <a href=\"https:\/\/financialpost.com\/pmn\/business-pmn\/indonesia-stuns-markets-as-it-widens-ban-to-include-cpo-refined-palm-oil-2\">but has prioritised the domestic needs as more important<\/a>. Other analysts believed that the restriction would raise the global edible oil prices as the supplies continue to be disrupted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/news\/business\/indonesias-palm-oil-export-ban-effective-today-heres-what-you-need-to-know-5068273.html\">climate change and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine<\/a>. Traders were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/asia-pacific\/indonesias-palm-oil-industry-braces-upcoming-export-ban-2022-04-27\/\">shocked by the recent announcement<\/a> while the Indonesian farmers strongly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokpost.com\/business\/2299570\/indonesian-farmers-support-palm-oil-export-ban\">endorsed the export ban<\/a>, criticising the palm oil industry for neglecting their domestic demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The export restriction will undoubtedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phnompenhpost.com\/business\/indonesia-suspends-all-exports-palm-oil#:~:text=Phnom%20Penh%20Post%20%2D%20Indonesia%20suspends%20all%20exports%20of%20palm%20oil&amp;text=Indonesia%20began%20imposing%20a%20complete,market%20already%20hitting%20peak%20prices\">trigger the rise of global edible oil prices<\/a> which India, China, Pakistan, and the EU would see as major importers of the commodity. However, hopes remain high that this is, as stated by the President, a temporary measure, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatoday.in\/business\/story\/palm-oil-export-ban-by-indonesia-begins-tomorrow-all-you-need-to-know-1942569-2022-04-27\">not a long-term policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Marcos Jr refuses a debate challenge prior to the presidential polls<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On 29 April 2022, Philippines Presidential candidate Ferdinand Marcos Jr, who is currently the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/asia\/philippines-marcos-jr-rejects-debate-challenge-ahead-presidential-poll-2655601\">leading candidate<\/a> in the Philippines presidential poll, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.abs-cbn.com\/video\/news\/04\/29\/22\/marcos-jr-rejects-debate-challenge-from-robredo\">rejected a one-on-one debate with his closest rival<\/a>, Leni Robredo ahead of the May 9<sup>th<\/sup> presidential election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marcos Jr. also rejected to participate in a debate hosted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rappler.com\/nation\/elections\/ferdinand-bongbong-marcos-jr-sara-duterte-skip-not-attending-cnn-philippines-debate\/\">CNN Philippines in late February<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thesunmonitor.net\/2022\/04\/marcos-jr-rejects-debate-challenge-ahead-of-philippine-presidential-poll\/\">rarely allowed any media interviews<\/a>. He often <a href=\"https:\/\/dnyuz.com\/2022\/04\/29\/marcos-jr-rejects-debate-challenge-ahead-of-philippine-presidential-poll\/\">neglected questions from journalists<\/a> during his rallies. Taken from his 2016 vice-presidential race experience, the leading candidate sought to avoid being questioned about his father\u2019s record of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.manilatimes.net\/2021\/09\/24\/opinion\/columns\/the-truth-behind-the-human-rights-abuses\/1815890\">crime and violence <\/a>which could sway the result of the upcoming election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His rival publicly invited Marcos Jr to a debate as they believed the Philippines <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pna.gov.ph\/articles\/1173342\">deserved a chance to ask him questions<\/a> on his controversies. Marcos\u2019 spokesperson expressed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rappler.com\/nation\/elections\/robredo-challenges-marcos-jr-one-on-one-debate-2022\/\">the impossibility of the debate<\/a> and accused the challenge <a href=\"https:\/\/newsinfo.inquirer.net\/1589901\/marcos-camp-rejects-vp-robredos-debate-challenge\">as negative campaigning<\/a>. Others believed the rejection of the debate is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokpost.com\/world\/2302554\/philippines-marcos-declines-debate-with-top-presidential-rival\">Marcos\u2019 way of hiding his lack of knowledge on issues and policies<\/a>.

His opponents will continue to use his past against him to remind the public of the Marcos reign and potential dynastic challenges. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Malaysia proposes informal ASEAN-Myanmar engagement<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>On 1 May, Malay Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah said Malaysia proposed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themalaysianinsight.com\/s\/379479\">an informal engagement<\/a> with Myanmar\u2019s National Unity Government (NUG) and ASEAN. The NUG was elected by the Burmese but was ousted by the junta last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malaymail.com\/news\/malaysia\/2022\/05\/01\/malaysia-to-propose-for-informal-engagement-between-asean-and-myanmars-nug\/2056619\">lack of progress in the ASEAN five-point consensus<\/a>, the engagement was proposed to push for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucanews.com\/news\/malaysia-to-propose-asean-ties-with-myanmar-shadow-govt\/97105\">a solution to the political crisis in Myanmar<\/a>. Importantly, this move is not made to legitimse the ousted government, but to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/news\/true-or-not\/2022\/05\/01\/malaysia-to-propose-for-informal-engagement-between-asean-and-myanmar039s-government-in-exile\">help provide assistance<\/a>, to the people of Myanmar. This request is one of the three proposals Malaysia is proposing to ASEAN. The others are to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.myanmarnews.net\/news\/272538723\/malaysia-proposes-engaging-nug-in-humanitarian-relief-in-myanmar\">double the humanitarian assistance to Myanmar<\/a> and to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theedgemarkets.com\/article\/malaysia-propose-informal-engagement-between-asean-and-myanmars-nug\">empower the role of the ASEAN special envoy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The junta has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irrawaddy.com\/news\/burma\/myanmar-junta-slams-malaysias-call-for-asean-to-engage-shadow-govt.html\">responded negatively<\/a> to the engagement plan as it believed it would be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2022\/5\/3\/myanmar-regime-condemns-malaysia-call-for-asean-to-work-with-nug\">reckless to engage with the so-called \u201cterrorist group\u201d<\/a>. &nbsp;Others believed the proposal&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/thediplomat.com\/2022\/05\/malaysia-to-propose-asean-contacts-with-myanmars-shadow-government\/\">lacks support<\/a>, especially from mainland Southeast Asian states as it would counter ASEAN\u2019s non-intervention principle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan demonstrates Malaysia\u2019s frustration with the lack of progress of the five-point consensus by the junta. The negative response from the junta suggests that they are unwilling to accept this type of proposal for engagement, regardless of the intention. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cambodian minister seeks more in-person time with Biden and ASEAN leaders to improve ties<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Cambodian Minister Kao Kim Hourn has said in an interview that the United States President Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/english.cambodiadaily.com\/politics\/biden-should-give-asean-leaders-face-time-to-improve-ties-says-cambodian-minister-177827\/\">should give more one-on-one meeting with ASEAN leaders<\/a> during the upcoming ASEAN-US summit in Washington if the <a href=\"https:\/\/newsindiacenter.com\/biden-ought-to-give-asean-leaders-face-time-to-enhance-ties-says-cambodian-minister\/\">US wants to boost its cooperation with the region<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This statement was made after it was revealed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/biden-should-give-asean-leaders-face-time-improve-ties-says-cambodian-minister-2022-05-06\/\">no bilateral meetings between each ASEAN leader and the US<\/a> were planned during the visit on 12 and 13 May.
