You're forgiven The APF actually started off life in the 1990s, except it was called the ASEAN People's Assembly (APA) It was held back to back with the ASEAN Summit, which is held twice a year The APA is the forum where 10 leaders of government engage with 10 leaders of civil society in a half-hour meeting "It was going well until one year when the chairman decided not to hold the APA, so it was discontinued until 2005 when Malaysia took the chairmanship of ASEAN again and founded the ASEAN People's Forum (APF)," Saifuddin explains In a perfect world, forums such as the APF or its predecessor APA would have worked perfectly to bridge the gap between government and civil society However, as Saifuddin points out, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) often not see eye to eye with their governments For instance this year, Myanmar is chair of ASEAN and in the APF, three member nations - including Malaysia - decided not to recognise the CSO leaders chosen as representatives so the APF did not take place “This is where the GMM wants to play a role in ensuring that this situation does not arise again," Saifuddin says According to the passage, in 1990s, APF was called A ASEAN People's Assembly B ASEAN People's Forum C Civil Society Organisations D Global Movement of Moderates The phrase "backed up" in paragraph has similar meaning to A concluded B introduced C proved D Supported Which of the following statements is NOT true about the APF according to the passage? A APF consists of 20 leaders B APF is held every two years C APF is reorganised in 2005 D APF lasts for 30 minutes The phrase "bridge the gap" in paragraph is closest in meaning to A avoid the conflict B break down the wall C build a strong relation D narrow the difference Which of the following would serve as the best title for the passage? A How important was the ASEAN People's Forum? B Who is going to be the ASEAN chair next year? C What does it mean to be a part of ASEAN? D Why GMM play an important role in ASEAN?
