b. Border Disputes: Indonesia Vs Malaysia
Border disputes between Indonesia and Malaysia caused by the controversy on land borders in nine points along the island of Kalimantan
and Malaysian states Sabah and Sarawak. This conflict is still in the stage of negotiation and have not been resolved. From the data of conflicts and
disputes above, it can be concluded that the thing that must be addressed and resolved by ASEAN to integrate regional is security. In this case because the
conflict of security is an complex problem, when the conflicts or the tensions occurs protracted, it will trigger a conflict that invloves armed forces.
3. The Economic Diversities Beside the security conflict, Economic also become a factor which could be the
obstacle for realizing an integrated region. Thus, because the economic condition in Southeast Asia countries have a huge of diversity in terms of the rates of GDP. For
example, a comparison between the economy of Myanmar and Singapore which has a very big difference. And also, the state with the economy above average,
Indonesia. According to the Governor of Bank Negara Malaysia Tan Sri Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz, the implementation of the ASEAN economic community is to integrate
the ASEAN region especially in the economic field. Therefore, to realizing an integrated region, ASEAN Countries should prepare well in terms of economic
Sector because if ASEAN Countries economics are not ready yet, it would widening the development gap in Southeast Asia.

The diversity of economic become the greatest challenge that ASEAN should be solved. So that, ASEAN Countries would
be ready to face the ASEAN Economic Community in the end of 2015.

diversity of Economic would be effected in inhibiting the purpose of the implementation of Asean Economic Community which integrate among southeast
Asian countries. In the other words, it could slowed up the integration in southeast asia. ASEAN countries should fix the economic problem situation in their country
