“….. Here is the prediction: China will turn North Korea loose soon. The alliance will dissolve, or become stale. There will be political upheaval in China. Not a coup and not a revolution. Within the inner circles of that which you call Chinese politics, there will be a re-evaluation of goals and monetary policy. Eventually, you will see a break with North Korea, allowing still another dictator to fall and unification to occur with the south. ….”

“… The Shift in Human Nature

You're starting to see integrity change. Awareness recalibrates integrity, and the Human Being who would sit there and take advantage of another Human Being in an old energy would never do it in a new energy. The reason? It will become intuitive, so this is a shift in Human Nature as well, for in the past you have assumed that people take advantage of people first and integrity comes later. That's just ordinary Human nature.

In the past, Human nature expressed within governments worked like this: If you were stronger than the other one, you simply conquered them. If you were strong, it was an invitation to conquer. If you were weak, it was an invitation to be conquered. No one even thought about it. It was the way of things. The bigger you could have your armies, the better they would do when you sent them out to conquer. That's not how you think today. Did you notice?

Any country that thinks this way today will not survive, for humanity has discovered that the world goes far better by putting things together instead of tearing them apart. The new energy puts the weak and strong together in ways that make sense and that have integrity. Take a look at what happened to some of the businesses in this great land (USA). Up to 30 years ago, when you started realizing some of them didn't have integrity, you eliminated them. What happened to the tobacco companies when you realized they were knowingly addicting your children? Today, they still sell their products to less-aware countries, but that will also change.

What did you do a few years ago when you realized that your bankers were actually selling you homes that they knew you couldn't pay for later? They were walking away, smiling greedily, not thinking about the heartbreak that was to follow when a life's dream would be lost. Dear American, you are in a recession. However, this is like when you prune a tree and cut back the branches. When the tree grows back, you've got control and the branches will grow bigger and stronger than they were before, without the greed factor. Then, if you don't like the way it grows back, you'll prune it again! I tell you this because awareness is now in control of big money. It's right before your eyes, what you're doing. But fear often rules. …”

ASEAN urged to adopt legally binding agreement on workers

Antara News, Mon, April 11 2011

The expected regional instrument needs to ensure the protection of legal and illegal migrant workers and their children as recommended by the United Nations

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - Trade unionists and legal aid activists of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore urged 10 ASEAN member states here Monday to adopt a legally binding regional framework instrument on the protection and promotion of migrant workers` rights.

The calls were echoed by Restaria Hutabarat, Roma Hidayat (Indonesia), Sinapan Samydorai (Singapore) and Vivian Chong (Malaysia) in response to the fourth meeting of ASEAN Committee on the Implementation of ASEAN Declaration for the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers (ACMW) here on Monday and Tuesday.

Restaria Hutabarat, Jakarta Legal Aid Foundation`s activist, said, due to its ASEAN chairmanship position, Indonesia had a good chance to ensure the protection of migrant workers in the regional organization`s member countries.

An effort to reach a sound bilateral agreement on this issue remained weak due to the receiving and sending countries` socio-economic differences, she said.

"That is why, a legally-binding regional instrument for promoting and protecting the human rights of migrant workers is indispensable," Hutabarat said.

She said the ACMW was again encouraged to realize the legally-binding regional instrument and it would not be a threat for all ASEAN member countries` sovereignty.

Sharing Hutabarat`s views, Foreign Domestic Workers Program Officer of Coordination of Action Research on AIDS and Mobility (CARAM) Asia Vivian Chong said that legally binding regional instrument should have been made effective within ASEAN member countries by this year.

The expected regional instrument needs to ensure the protection of legal and illegal migrant workers and their children as recommended by the United Nations, she said.

However, such instrument might not be easy for the Malaysian and Singaporean governments because they did not want to get any consequence of failing to meet the legally binding rules of the game, she said.

Vivian Chong also touched on the causes of legal domestic workers to become "undocumented". She said they became undocumented because their employers did not extend their employees` visas.

Instead of helping their workers` visa extension, the employers called local police to arrest them, she said adding that the issue of undocumented workers was not only related to employment but this was also a humanitarian issue.

In the issue of domestic workers in Malaysia, Vivian Chong said the country`s employment act just regarded domestic workers as "domestic servants". This act was actually the legacy of British colonial era, she said.

Convenor of Task Force on ASEAN Migrant Workers Sinapan Samydorai said his party supported a legally binding regional agreement on the ASEAN framework instrument for the sake of better protection of migrant workers` rights.

"Follow-up to such multilateral agreement could include Memorandum of Understanding or Bilateral Agreements on specific issues like labor trafficking and undocumented workers to secure the protection and respect of the rights of the migrant workers," he said.

With this binding agreement, the problems of undocumented migrant workers and their children, as well as those who became stateless in Malaysia could not resolved, he said.

Malaysia and Singapore are the biggest recipients of migrant workers from such countries as Indonesia and the Philippines. But, those migrant workers, especially Indonesian domestic workers, are not always treated fairly.

ASEAN comprises Indonesia, Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar and Viet Nam.
