    Renewed Concerns in Key ASEAN Economies Politics and Growth Prospects After the First COVID-19 Wave August 2020 Contents Summary of COVID-19 in Four Key ASEAN Economies 1 1. Vietnam 2 2. Malaysia 5 3. Thailand 9 4. Indonesia 13 Conclusion 16 References 17 This Special Report is authored by Associate Professor Simon Tay, Chairman, SIIA; Kevin Chen, Research Analyst; Jessica Wau, Assistant Director (ASEAN); and Sarah Loh, Research Analyst. All views expressed in this special report are those of the authors, unless otherwise credited. Introduction This Special Report by the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA) will examine how key Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) economies – Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam – are emerging after the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. From June 2020, these four countries announced the end or easing of their lockdown measures and began to reopen their economies and business sectors. Their prospects matter not only to their own citizens but to the region and to Singapore as a hub, partner and investor. These four key economies represent over 70 per cent of overall ASEAN gross domestic product (GDP).1 This report will consider pre-existing economic and political challenges and how some of these have either stabilised or been sharpened and aggravated by the pandemic. The focus on the pandemic has generally meant that political developments have been muted in the first half of 2020. But as each country emerges from restrictions, political contestations and economic challenges are restarting; there are trends and risks emerging that may well move more quickly in the coming months.

Between 31% and 44% of active- duty service members suffer from chronic pain, the nonpartisan Rand Corp. said in a study that ex- amined how the military health system deals with the issue. While the Defense Department has invested heavily and made strides in treating chronic pain, expanding efforts to track how service members are doing after they receive care would be a step forward, Rand said. “Accurately measuring the quality of pain treatment is an es- sential step toward improving care,” it said.

  • Chapter 6 Crisis Communication
    The Independent Investigation Commission on the Japanese Government’s Response to COVID-19: Report on Best Practices and Lessons Learned Part III Best practices and challenges Chapter 6 Crisis communication The most effective message to encourage “self-restraint” and response to public anxiety, discontent and criticism The “analysis and recommendations” released April 1 by the government’s Expert Meeting on the Novel Coronavirus Disease Control cited a change in citizens’ behavior as a key component of the “Japan model” to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. A key to the efforts to fight the novel coronavirus were the messages released by the government to prompt people at large to change their behavior to reduce the infection risk, such as voluntary restraint on nonurgent outings and avoiding the “Three Cs” (closed spaces, crowded places and close-contact settings). What also became important was for the government, in order to prevent confusion among citizens and seek their cooperation with countermeasures for the disease, to explain the situation to address public anxiety, discontent and criticism, such as by accounting for the poor access to PCR tests for the virus, and to send out messages for resolving the problems. In this chapter, we define these two as “crisis communication.” Several research and data indicate that the messages sent out via the government’s news conferences and other channels contributed to a change in citizens’ behavior, thus reducing the effective reproduction number of novel coronavirus infections, but that public evaluation of the government’s news conferences and messages was not necessarily positive. Based on such an analysis, this chapter tries to explore the messages that contributed to people’s behavioral change (best practice) and the factors that lowered public evaluation of the government’s news conferences and messages (challenges).
