The event brought together industry heavyweights such as Yeo and Malaysian utilities tycoon Francis Yeoh, on two separate panels to discuss future developments in Asean, a region that UOB has claimed to have a stronghold over.
A Prabowo Subianto presidency in Indonesia will likely result in a stronger focus on Asean, unlike the outgoing Jokowi presidency which mostly focused on domestic issues, says George Yeo, the former foreign minister of Singapore.
“Prabowo is his own man who won’t be dancing to Jokowi’s tune,” says Yeo, who was speaking at United Overseas Bank (SGX:U11
) (UOB)’s inaugural privilege conversations Asean event on Mar 6.
