We cannot leave it within the black box; it has to be

                 tranced out because if you leave dark or behind this black
                 curtain, beyond understanding, beyond monitoring, beyond
                 transparency, somebody will make money in other ways,

                 somebody will take profit from all of this, somebody will
                 exploit it, those poor human beings and human trafficking

                 would be a plague.

                          I don’t think ASEAN wants to have that image outside

                 of the region. Ten of them agreed to integrate but they are not
                 protecting their own people, they are not helping their own
                 people, but they are taking advantage, they are exploiting.

                 These poor people will have no help, no protection, no support,
                 no counsel, and no advice. So, those are the unskilled but

                 here you are focusing on the skilled, on the eight professions.
                 I would say that ASEAN is moving in the direction of closer
                 integration but in the area of skilled labor mobility being

                 employed in each other economies. This is still very much
                 lagging behind and if agencies could get together and have the

                 experts of those professions, what are their hopes? What are
                 their fears? What are their concerns? And how are we going
                 to help ASEAN address this problem of facilitating better and

                 more secure movement of skilled workers among ourselves?

                          Those who are ready, those who want to and those
                 who add to the requirement of those less developed ASEAN
