If all goes well, #TimorLeste will officially join the #ASEAN as its 11th member.
For grassroots:
- 30 days visa-free entry across all 11 ASEAN members
-- you can reset it twice by crossing to another ASEAN member for at least 24 hours, so that's 90 days total
- more work opportunities for Timorians and the rest of ASEANs
- easy exchange student processing
- cultural exchanges
- ASEAN jokes and memes 😂

In 1992, Cicih Sukaesih led fellow Indonesian factory workers in a strike, part of a movement that led Nike to create its first code of conduct.
She's proud of the example she set. But she described her work as incomplete, as problems remain, including chronically low wages.

An average worker at the foreign factories that make Nike’s goods earns 1.9 times the local minimum wage, the company says.
None of the workers The Oregonian/OregonLive spoke with in Nike’s second-largest production hub said they earned that much.

It's wrong, yes, but you can't blame ASEANs. YOU started it.
