In this voluntary contribution, I declare that I have absolutely no interest, in fact am utterly dispassionate about this subject matter, yet, am contributing within my abilities, limits and means. I am a trained and certified United Nations sustainable development framework specialist, and I have also served in the capacity of a top secret unit at HQ Mindef leading up to the War on Terror. I reported directly to Mr. Ng Yat Chung, who is now the Chief Executive of Singapore Press Holdings, as well as several key commanders such as Mr. Desmond Kuek as well as my then Commanding Officer Alvin Kek who is assisting Mr. Kuek at SMRT lately, several retired generals such as Mr. Lim Feng and Mr. Hugh Lim U Yang who is CEO Building and Construction Authority, and more poignantly also Mr. Ravinder Singh who was the first minority Chief of Army in Singapore. Mr. Lee Kuan Yew once said approximately, "Freedom of the press, freedom of the news media, must be subordinated to the overriding needs of the integrity of Singapore, and to the primacy of purpose of an elected government." I have never been a fan of press freedom and will never be.

Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades Dr.rer.pol. im Fach Politischenwissenschaft vorgelegt von Rodon Pedrason Eingereicht an der Fakultät für Wirtschafts - und Sozialwissenschaften der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität HeidelBerg Gutachter: 1. Prof. Dr. Aurel Croissant, Institut für Politische Wissenschaft, Universität HeidelBerg 2. Prof. Dr. Jörn Dosch, Lehrstuhl für Internationale Politik und Entwicklungszusammenarbeit, Institut für Politik- und Verwaltungswissenschaften, Universität Rostock HeidelBerg, im Sommersemester 2015 i Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine whether the practice of ASEAN member states’ defence diplomacy through practical defence cooperatives for handling security challenges in Southeast Asia contain the characteristics of a defence community which could pave the way for the formation of a future Southeast Asian defence community. The security challenges facing the countries of Southeast Asia today lie in creating a stable environment. The debate over the concept of security has broadened the discourse on regional security cooperation, which drives states to engage more deeply in multilateral diplomacy in order to defend better and promote their national interests, and particularly in handling problems in maintaining a stable peace in the region. As the unit of analysis, this study examined the forum of the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting (ADMM) and ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (ADMM-Plus), and selects six ASEAN member states as the loci of the study, namely: Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore; Thailand and Vietnam. The different forms of government system became the reasons for selecting these six countries, i.e. a democratic state such as Indonesia, a semi-authoritarian system such as in Malaysia and Singapore, a monarchy as in Brunei and Thailand, socialist countries such as Vietnam.
