Prime Minister, your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon and a very warm welcome to this 25th World Economic Forum on ASEAN. My name is Justin Wood, I'm head of Asia Pacific at the World Economic Forum, and it's my very great pleasure to officially open this summit. But before I do, a few words of welcome from our Chairman, Professor Klaus Schwab. Mr Prime Minister, Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, partners and members of the World Economic Forum, cordially welcome to this World Economic Forum on ASEAN. Due to an oddities, I cannot travel at this moment, but in my heart I'm with you during this meeting. I'm particularly sorry not to be physically present because it's our 25th anniversary, 25 years to celebrate of our engagement in the region. But this year, we want to concentrate not just on East Asia, we want to concentrate on the ASEAN countries. The ASEAN countries are at a very important moment of history. Not only because the ASEAN economic community has been created, but ASEAN on the one hand offers so many opportunities, has such a great potential, on the other hand has to prepare for the future. The future will be very much dominated by this notion of being in the fourth industrial revolution. Technological progress presently is so fast that what we will experience in a very short period of time is a complete restructuring of production to a certain extent of consumption. We will need new skills. We will redistribute the cards of global production. Here, with a relatively young population, the ASEAN countries have a particular chance and a particular potential to be in the lead of such a fourth industrial revolution. But this will need very deep cooperation, cooperation in terms of an increased infrastructure, cooperation certainly in the political, economic and social fields. I'm sure that this meeting here will serve to shape systems for the future. And I'm hoping that you will have not only enjoyable but very fruitful next days. I wish you a very good meeting. As you heard from Professor Schwab, the ASEAN region stands at a critical moment. On the one hand, there is a huge amount to celebrate here. The economics are strong. For the past 20 years, the ASEAN region has been growing at around 5% a year. The demographics are strong. Large population, 630 million people, still most of them extremely young. The economic transitions here continue to unfold as workers shift from agriculture into manufacturing and on into services, taking on ever more productive jobs and earning higher incomes as a result. Regional integration continues to deepen, most recently with the launch of the ASEAN Economic Community. And the competitiveness of countries within ASEAN is also improving. The Forum every year produces a ranking of global competitiveness around the world. And here in ASEAN countries such as Cambodia and Indonesia and the Philippines have seen their rankings climb up every year very steadily. So on the one hand, there was an awful lot to celebrate here in ASEAN. But on the other hand, there's also a lot to worry about. Economic growth here remains extremely impressive. And yet, in the last couple of years, we have seen it trending down. And a big part of the reason for that is because the global economic context has become much more challenging. The world's two big economic engines, China and the US, are both undergoing economic transitions at the moment. China, which is ASEAN's biggest trade partner, is undergoing economic rebalancing towards a new economic model. And that means, of course, slowing economic growth rates. And that in turn feeds through into slower trade and weaker commodity prices. And ASEAN has certainly felt the fallout from that. Meanwhile, in the US, we see a return to the normalization of monetary policy. And that's changing the flows of capital around the world. And once again, ASEAN has felt the impact of that. Elsewhere in the world, the picture is equally unsupportive. In the developed world, Europe and Japan are still weak. And in the emerging markets, many of the biggest economies are firmly in recession. So given this context of a weak global economic environment, ASEAN increasingly needs to look at its own internal drivers of growth for its future, rather than relying on the external world to drive its economic story. So as ASEAN looks internally, this of course means working on economic reforms. It means upgrading human capital, building infrastructure, and of course strengthening the quality of institutions and governance, which are so critical. Without strong institutions, business and citizens lack the confidence and the trust to invest their capital and growth suffers as a result. But it isn't just the quantity of growth that is so important, it's also the quality of growth. How inclusive is it? Is this economic story benefiting just a few, or is it benefiting everyone? And here again, ASEAN faces big challenges. At the forum, we have done a lot of research into inclusive growth, and our research shows that in many places across Southeast Asia, inequality is now rising. Yes, the impressive growth that we've seen over recent decades has lifted many, many millions of ASEAN citizens out of poverty. But having escaped poverty, many have now become stuck at a low and vulnerable income level. They're not rising to become middle class. And this fact that economic growth is not necessarily creating as many middle class citizens as it should has important implications. Implications for equity and justice, but also implications for the sustainability of growth. Because we know that middle class formation is foundational to sustained long term growth. Middle class formation is key to ASEAN being able to drive its own destiny at a regional level rather than having to rely on demand from elsewhere in the world for its future growth. So for all of these reasons, the theme of our summit this year is shaping the ASEAN agenda for inclusion and growth. Over the next two days, our hope and our aim is that we can explore the best ideas not only for lifting the quantity of growth, but also for improving the quality of the growth. These questions are critically important, but they're also becoming much more complicated thanks to the impact of the fourth industrial revolution. You heard Professor Schwab talk about this earlier. This is going to transform not only industries and businesses, but society and government too. And for ASEAN, very important questions. The future of jobs in education and how do you prepare workforces for this uncertain future. The future of industrial policy, many parts of Asia have relied on cheap labour as the source of their competitive advantage in the past and increasingly as the cost of automation plummets, that will no longer be a viable strategy. We stand really only at the beginning of this fourth industrial revolution. None of us really know where it's going to take us, but we do know that change is coming and we do know that the pace of change is accelerating. So over the next two days, we've tried to put together a programme that considers all of these issues. I'm sure that as you engage with it, the discussions that you have and the ideas that you generate will be very exciting. And I look forward to hearing what comes out of it. I wish you all the very best of luck and wish you all a highly productive summit. And on that note, let me now welcome His Excellency, Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak, to deliver his own opening remarks. Thank you, Justin. Peace be upon you all. And a very good afternoon. Excellencies, Prime Ministers, Vice President Indonesia and Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam, Distinguished Ministers, Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am pleased to welcome you all today to the World Economic Forum on ASEAN. And I'm delighted that this milestone meeting is not only dedicated to ASEAN, but also that it is being held here in Kuala Lumpur. As a footnote, I had a conversation with Professor Schwab last night and I reminded him that there are three people he shouldn't argue against, conventional wisdom. One, of course, your boss. Number two, your pilot. If he says, don't fly, don't fly. And thirdly, your personal doctor. I'm not sure whether one's wife comes in number four or not. Ladies and gentlemen, the fact that WF has chosen to focus on ASEAN specifically this year is a testament, a testament to the growing significance of a region. And people are noticing that with a combined GDP of $2.6 trillion, collectively ASEAN is already the seventh largest economy in the world. And our 625 million strong population is forecast to be the fourth largest market by 2050, at the latest, with one global bank predicting we will achieve that status by 2030, even earlier. We know what we are and we know where we can be. The question now is, will we take the necessary steps to reach that goal? Do we have the will? Do we have the determination to make that dream a reality? How will we ride the wave of the fourth industrial revolution which WF has been discussing? That glittering price, which is what will allow us to shape the ASEAN agenda for inclusion and growth in accordance with this meeting's theme, is within our grasp. But the price must be taken. The great opportunities it promises will not miraculously appear without continued efforts, our efforts to reform, to liberalise, and to strengthen the integration of our ASEAN economies. What ASEAN can be, its potential, should be our call, our call for action. Will we, the leaders, captains of industry, policymakers, commentators, NGOs in ASEAN, heed that call? Will we do more to enhance ASEAN connectivity and inclusivity and at the same time reduce development and income inequality? We would not be doing our duty for our peoples if we do not, and there is much to be done. Ladies and gentlemen, first, however, let us remind ourselves of what ASEAN has achieved. ASEAN overtook China in terms of foreign direct investment in 2013. Last year, one publication described us as, and I quote, Asia's hottest investment. PricewaterhouseCoopers issued a report which said, with GDP growth rates that are threatening to overtake China's and the youthful growing and increasingly educated population, the allure of the ASEAN markets is obvious. Last year, under Malaysian's chairmanship, we signed the Kuala Lumpur Declaration on the establishment of the ASEAN community. We reaffirmed our commitment to the ASEAN Charter and past agreements, acknowledged ASEAN's success in maintaining a peaceful and stable region, and pledged our continued commitment to ASEAN community building and to the post-2015 vision. The first phase of integration necessary for us to achieve the economic pillar of the community by 2015 helped sustain growth of over 5% over the period 2007 to 2015. That by itself is a remarkable achievement given that during the first two years of that period, economies around the world were devastated by the Great Recession of 2007-2009. We have virtually eliminated import tariffs. Cross-border trading processes have been simplified, reducing the cost of doing business, transportation and other infrastructure networks have been improved to facilitate the movement of goods and services. Pragmatic policy reforms in member countries have transformed ASEAN into an increasingly attractive investment destination for international and domestic investors with ASEAN becoming a production base for global, multinational and energetic regional companies alike. Here in Malaysia, we have directly benefited from the creation of the ASEAN Economic Community. 27% of our trade is with ASEAN. Malaysian banks such as Maybank, CIMB, RHB and Public Bank communication companies including DG, Maxis and Telecoms Malaysia all have deep regional footprints. YTLA, ASEAN and Malindo are all regional players. In fact, over 1,500 Malaysian companies are operating in ASEAN. Most of them are locally incorporated and have assumed a local identity or have joined venture partners. They are, in fact, ASEAN in practice. Ladies and gentlemen, far further afield, people want to do business with ASEAN. We are being quoted by the most advanced economies in the world. Together with Australia, China, India, Japan, Republic of Korea and New Zealand, ASEAN is actively negotiating the regional comprehensive economic partnership and agreement that will see the establishment of a free trade area encompassing almost a third of the world's GDP with a population of over 3 billion people. ASEAN has a key role relating to China's infrastructure-driven alliances including the formation of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Fund and the One Belt One Road Initiative. We have an official enhanced partnership with the United States, Russia, once they advance relations with ASEAN and its proposing engagement and even an FTA between ASEAN and the Eurasian Economic Union. Canada has intensified its engagement. The European Union is assessing a free trade area and appointed its first dedicated ambassador to ASEAN earlier this year. So much attention has been paid to ASEAN. We should be flattered. However, in order to realize the potential of these agreements and associations, it is imperative that we carry on the process of deepening our community. And that, ladies and gentlemen, will be a big task. Removing non-tariff measures is a case in point. According to a recent joint report by the UN and Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia, while tariff rates halved between 2000 and 2015, non-tariff measures actually tripled over that time. From 1,634 measures to 5,975. We need to find more efficient ways of ensuring we recognize each other's documentation, whether it is for pharmaceutical products, professional certificates or port entry requirements. The ASEAN Economic Community will never reach true fruition if we do not work to eradicate these barriers. When we talk about the bright future that ASEAN could have, these are the kinds of issues that have to be tackled head-on in order for us to reach that horizon. They are complex, detailed and require an extraordinary amount of coordination. This is one of the reasons why Malaysia believes the ASEAN Secretary needs to be strengthened. The annual allocation of around $17 to $20 million is woefully inadequate for the Secretary to drive ASEAN forward, both in terms of integration and agreement with other trading powers. Likewise, the Office of the Committee of the Permanent Representatives of ASEAN Member States in Jakarta has to be enhanced to assist with the increasing workload of ASEAN and for national representatives to be able to cut across borders and agendas. The tasks involved in harmonizing will be immense. We must ensure that the right machinery and funding is there to ensure smooth collaboration and then to expedite implementation. Ladies and gentlemen, just now I mentioned our youthful, growing and increasingly educated population. Around 65% of ASEAN's population is under 35. We must tap into their energy, their desire to learn and innovate and we must support and stimulate their talent and entrepreneurship. We have the ASEAN Young Entrepreneurs' Council and Network, one of the many superb initiatives of the ASEAN Business Advisory Council. Here in Kuala Lumpur, President Obama and I launched MAGIC, the Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre, two years ago. But we must do more to encourage that spirit that dares to imagine new possibilities, new ways of working and living. 30 years ago we would have, who would have thought that one day we would all have mobile phones that fit in our pockets and that most of us would use them to send messages and emails, read books, listen to music, take photos and watch films and only occasionally to make a phone call. Now we cannot imagine life without them. We want young people from ASEAN to have that ambition, to create the must-have electronics, the new businesses and the everyday technology of tomorrow. ASEAN's future is their future after all. And if it is to be a global future, they must think beyond their home, their region and believe and know that young people in ASEAN are capable of doing just as much, if not more, than those in other parts of the world. Ladies and gentlemen, the future is one matter. But we must concentrate on where we are now and make sure we deliver in the short term to raise awareness of ASEAN and to provide tangible benefits to our people so that we build the ASEAN community, both in the minds and hearts of our people, but also in practical ways. It is high time we ensure there is an ASEAN lane in all our major points of entry across our ten nations and encourage the setting up of practical things like ASEAN food courts to develop a popular feeling amongst our people. We must speed up process, progress on the mutual recognition agreements that currently cover eight professions until qualifications become portable. Movement of skilled individuals around ASEAN will be seriously hindered and our productivity will suffer. We could start with the university degrees, allowing students to spend part of the degree in another ASEAN country. As ASEAN has no supranational authority, it is critical that decisions made at the regional level are enabled by domestic laws, rules and regulations. Immigration departments and professional regulatory bodies must help and not stand in the way of agreement on migration of skilled labour in professions such as engineering and architects. There are many other initiatives that need our determined support, such as the role of micro, small and medium enterprises in our economic integration and facilitate their participation in the ASEAN economy. That is especially important, given that over 95% of the enterprises in the region are MSMEs. It is vital that we press on. And fast, we are further integrating the services sector. While all ASEAN member states have shared commitments on over 100 services sub-sectors, equity liberalisation, for instance, varies from 30% to 70% with only a few services sub-sectors fully liberalised. Intra ASEAN trade and Intra ASEAN FDI should be increased further. While Intra ASEAN trade has hovered around 25% per annum of total ASEAN trade, which stood at $543 billion in 2015, we should aspire for these numbers to increase to at least 30% in the next five years. We also need to increase Intra ASEAN FDI, which stood at $24.4 billion, or 18% of total FDI into ASEAN in 2014. In short, ladies and gentlemen, what is required is nothing short of a complete transformation if ASEAN is to achieve its potential. We are to continue to be as David Lipton, the Deputy Managing Director of IMF, put it, and I quote, an example for developing countries around the globe that aspire to economic progress. We need a transformation of rules, procedures and habits, but we also need a transformation of the mind as we learn to think of ourselves more and more as ASEAN, act more and more as ASEAN, and then reap the benefits of being ASEAN. Our national identity and interests, I would like to argue, can coexist and even complement ASEAN's identity and interests. There should be practical initiatives to bind us. For example, Malaysia recently started Go ASEAN, the world's first ASEAN travel channel, that has gained international recognition for the region. Ladies and gentlemen, in Malaysia we have some experience of transformation. After I took office seven years ago, I introduced the Government Transformation Program and a new economic model. Our plans provided a sharp focus on how Malaysia's economic policies needed to change as well as the national reforms necessary in the public sector. And our plans have worked. We have created 1.8 million jobs, increased gross national income by nearly 50%, cap inflation low, and boosted FDI to record levels. They also helped Malaysia remain resilient during the global financial turmoil. We continue to record good economic growth despite the steep drops in the prices of oil and commodities. We have in fact exported our national transformation programmes by sharing our experience with countries in Africa and parts of Central Asia and India. Now we need the transformation of ASEAN. We have been criticised for moving slowly in the past. That might have been the right pace then as much of our region recovered from war and division. The ASEAN way may have been rather ponderous but it brought us unity, peace and prosperity. Today, however, we live in a fast-paced world and the demographic dividend of young populations will become a liability if we do not take active steps to integrate, innovate and advance. So set your eyes on what ASEAN can be. Then set your minds on how to empower our peoples to achieve that goal. Our chance is now. Let history record that we took it and set ASEAN on course to be one of the brightest stars of the ASEAN century. It is my honour to open the WEF on ASEAN 2016 and I look forward to seeing all of you again this evening. Thank you. Thank you dear Prime Minister and thank you for your introduction of our this year's motto which is shaping ASEAN's future towards inclusion and growth. Dear panelists, ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome from my end. My name is Philip and I have the honour to moderate today's opening panel of our 25th World Economic Forum here in the region. And what Justin has mentioned, it's for the first time not only a summit of the World Economic Forum here in the region but with a specific focus on the ASEAN community thanks to the ASEAN economic community recently founded under the chairmanship of Malaysia. And so allow me to introduce briefly our distinguished panelists. Of course we just heard the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Najib Razak. We have also here the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Samdeh Tehshun Sen. We have the Prime Minister of Timor Leste, Riyo Maria Aruga. We have the Vice President of Indonesia, Yusuf Kala. And last but of course not least, the Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam, Tindin Tsung. Excellencies, a warm welcome. We are very honoured that you are here today. And what you have heard, ladies and gentlemen, if ASEAN were a single country, it would be the seventh strongest economy in the world with the third largest workforce after China and India. However, a few gaps are remaining for ASEAN for realise its potential. We all know efficient and transparent institutions are critical for economic progress and social inclusion. They are necessary for reforms in order to re-establish trust between the leadership in the ASEAN community on the one hand and 625 million people on the other hand. So, since we are here in Malaysia, allow me to start our conversation by turning to our host Prime Minister Najib Razak. And we all know here in the room that Malaysia has very strong economic fundamentals. You just mentioned them. Well-educated workforce, excellent infrastructure, as well as a sizable middle class. But yet the trust of the economic community on a global level has been going down with a considerable focus on public investment and transparent governance. So allow me to ask you, what are the steps which your government has taken in order to re-establish trust and to re-establish the trust of the business community in Malaysia's economic, social and political fundamentals? Thank you. First of all, let me say that you mentioned the fundamentals are strong and that's been well-recognised. And I believe that we should concentrate on strengthening the fundamentals. First of all, we should not be over-reactive to short-term conditions because we believe there will be self-correction in the market. Number one, if you take, for example, interest rate changes, expected changes in America, when that didn't take place the first four months of this year, the ringgit was the best-performing global currency for the first four months of this year. So in that sense, if you concentrate on the fundamentals, the market will be self-correcting. Number two, we have to look in terms of what are the factors you can control and what are the factors you cannot control. I'll give you an example, factors we cannot control. For example, a 1% drop in the growth of China leads to a 0.4% slowdown in the Malaysian economy. A $1 drop in the price of oil leads to a $450 million loss ringgit in emulation revenue for the government. So those are the factors we cannot control. What are the factors we can control include the fundamentals, we can make the economy more resilient, or we can ensure what you alluded to, the trust, the confidence by ensuring investor protection, by ensuring that the regulatory bodies in the country are allowed to do their jobs. And by doing that, we can establish a high degree of confidence and the fact that foreign direct investment has been going up in Malaysia by 22% per annum means that there is confidence, general confidence in Malaysia. The problem is a problem of perception, the problem is a problem of noise level outside. The noise level is rather high, I admit it, but it belies the strong fundamentals and the commitment of the Malaysian government to continue reforms in this country. Thank you Prime Minister. Allow me to turn now to Cambodia. So we have seen the last 15 years a remarkable growth by 17%. So our question is, so what will be the future, the near future, particularly in terms of inclusion and to lift many people out of poverty in your country in Cambodia? Excellent. Konro sir. Thank you, roster. First of all, I would like to express my thanks and high appreciation to the speech delivered by Excellencies Prime Minister, Malaysia, Najib Rajat. Responding to your question in relation to the Cambodian academic growth, Cambodia is truly receiving high progress, the average of 7.7% per annum for 20 successful years. This point, it starts with Cambodia is determined to join ASEAN and this point we should also be reminded a bit that interest in the speech of Najib Rajat. Where is ASEAN now? That's the point we should put it as a political point and academic point. 30 years ago whether all of you here, young or old have been thinking there will be ASEAN today because then Southeast Asia was divided into two umbrella between one side ASEAN and the other side the Indochina countries and Myanmar exclusively. We did not know that there will be 10 ASEAN and that they're going to be the 11 ASEAN when Timulus joins ASEAN later. But ASEAN has been successful that reached the stage of unity in the framework of Southeast Asia under Angbuan umbrella. But economy in which Cambodia has reaped is on the point now. The initiative of ASEAN integration between all ASEAN with high development with new ASEAN. That is also a part which has reached the academic progress with the level of 7.7% per annum for 20 years. The last few years even the world academic crisis and lately there is the Chinese academic slowdown Chinese and Indian close down but Cambodia still maintain the academic growth of 7.7%. But what we are concerned is that the ASEAN academic community there remain many challenges. If we talk about the whole ASEAN market this is a big economy. But one should not forget that ASEAN consists of the last developed ASEAN country and high developed ASEAN country. In addition to that, ASEAN itself is competing within itself. As an example in the framework of ASEAN the four countries that have food for export Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia. We have food for export. In general these four ASEAN countries and developed countries all compete with each other. At the time the developed countries do not have much goods to compete with each other. So that is one part. One part is that each country extracts investment for indirect investment. So we are also competing with each other to get FID. That's the point we need to find coordination to find for policy that could guarantee there will be such a competition to get one piece of meat. Let's say for example at the time we like to sell food to outside. We Vietnam drop the price, Thai drop the price, Cambodia drop the price, Myanmar drop the price and finally our production will have an elite profit. At the same time one should not forget that. Industrial revolution, higher technologies today is so advanced which benefit many countries. That includes not just Cambodia and other countries. The IT provides the opportunities for the progress of all. But one should not forget the reason that could happen in which instead of industrial revolution or advanced industry. Let's say in the coming time if there is a finding of the artificial rubber, replacing rubber. How about Malaysia that have rubber plantation, Thai Indonesia and Vietnam, Cambodia that have rubber plantation. So what the farmer has to chop down the rubber tree? That is a high risk. So there is a finding of artificial rubber that could replace the natural rubber. Then because the loss of jobs for many farmers. Industrial revolution that use a robot. The more they use a robot. And how about the people that are now employed. They have to think the safety network among Asian countries. Because Asian in Malaysia is a country that short of labor force. But don't forget that in Philippines, in Vietnam or in Cambodia we export labor. That's all the challenges. And Cambodia will continue its effort to maintain economic growth is around 7 percent and reduce poverty more than 1 percent per annum. But the point to be taken into consideration is the poverty line in which the people that have the poverty line and those who drop under the poverty line is so close to each other. So the natural disaster happens more frequently. Even that cause those who cross the poverty line is easy to drop to under the poverty line. That's the point we are now paying attention to. Thank you. And given that T-Molester has been already mentioned so I would like to ask the Prime Minister given that you have 60 percent of your population younger than 25 years. So what does it mean particularly in terms of inclusion and future jobs for your youth for your next generation? Thank you. Excellencies, Prime Ministers, Mr. Vice President of Indonesia, Deputy Prime Minister. First of all, allow me to share with you the experience that we had in T-Molester. We restored our independence 14 years ago with the support of the international community, particularly with friends in Asian, including Malaysia and also Indonesia and other countries. Our economic development during the last ten years were mainly driven by public investment. We were fortunate enough to have some oil and gas revenues accumulated in a petroleum fund which has been used to mainly drive the economic development of the country. The growth during the last five years reached double-digit but you have to go realistic that was driven by public investment. We have been trying to attract more private investors to the country. We established some basic ingredients for foreign direct investment to come to the country. We are starting to see some results now. Recently we signed an agreement with a cement factory. A beverage factory has been established in the country. So there are signs of increasing attraction for foreign investment in the country. We have to acknowledge that we face a lot of challenges. Our population is young. The education level of our population is still very low. There is a huge scale mismatch between the skills that are produced by our education system and the need of the market. We are introducing a lot of reforms. The government that I am leading took office one year ago and we started to introduce some reforms, particularly four main reforms with the aims of establishing the foundation for economic diversification so that during the next coming years we will be less and less dependent on our petroleum fund. Those reforms include particularly in the public administration. We are trying to introduce a more merit-based public administration, civil service recruitment in order to make sure that our public administration respond to the needs of the business community in order to invest in our country. We are also going through reforms in our legal system, adjusting the regulatory framework that would be more investment-friendly to foreign-direct investment. We are going through a reform on our land acquisition, land titles, expropriation laws so that it could create an appropriate environment for investors to come. We are also focusing on some of the specific areas that we think would be of high priority for us to develop in order to support our economic development. Tourism, agriculture, manufacturing industry, oil and gas industry are being part of that. Framework of priorities that we think will be helping a lot in our country. We realize that in terms of growth we've done so far what was... we did our possibilities to do. In terms of inclusiveness, we've, as you all know, we are a post-conflict country coming out from a fragile situation. The priority that we had in Timor-Leste was to secure peace and stability and build the state institutions in order to support the social and economic development. And one of the priorities was to establish a reconciliation process, particularly in our community itself, and also with our neighbour Indonesia. And I'm proud to stay here, and I think Vice President of Indonesia is also here. Timor-Leste is now a... Timor-Leste in Indonesia is now a good example of reconciliation and friendship established through a process of dialogue and it's becoming very good neighbours. And Indonesia is supporting Timor-Leste in developing its economy and also Timor-Leste is supporting Indonesia. So the priority in terms of inclusiveness is to establish reconciliation within the community. And then during the last 14 years we had focused on the most vulnerable communities in our society, former freedom fighters, combatants, the elderly and the widows and women. We've tried to come up with social benefit schemes that could give them some lay weight to participate in the economic development of the country. We are working hard to include women as much as possible in the process of decision-making and in the process of socio-economic development because we believe that the inclusion of women will also have a great impact on the inclusiveness of the economic development of the country. So in a sense, we are still very young. We've come so far 14 years. We've done what was within our possibilities to establish the foundations. We're very conscious of the challenges that we are facing. We are also very conscious of the support, the opportunities that the Asian community is providing. And we believe that with the integration of the societies and communities within Asian and the internal efforts that we are doing in Timor-Leste we will be able to meet the challenges that we are facing in the country. Thank you. Thank you, Prime Minister. And if we are talking about reforms, what comes to our mind, of course, Indonesia and you already mentioned Indonesia. So since you have taken over the responsibility since two and a one and a half years, so what is from your perspective the most critical issue in terms of inclusion and growth? Yes, thank you, Philips. First about ASEAN, I think we are very happy ASEAN as Prime Minister Najib explaining that ASEAN is now growing from cooperation to more communities. Compared with the other regional corporations, I think we are more advanced because ASEAN can be a union as well as a unity between countries. You don't compare with East ASEAN or South ASEAN. It is not easy to make a unity because of so many problems. ASEAN itself is very stable in politics and that's why we are working. Many things we can do, for instance, how to develop connectivity between ASEAN as well as a good planning for connectivity should be done in ASEAN as well as standardisation because to make our industry between us to complementary should be standardisation in ASEAN including in education. For Indonesia, of course, our philosophy of a country is equality and prosperity. I see the same as many countries this objectively philosophy, but experiences many countries including Asia to make equality has been inclusion for the others should be hard-working, working for hard, but we are not 1% to occupy 90% not, but if we should work hard to make more inclusion in any matter. The problem first thing is how increasing the level from small and middle company to more actively. That's why we are so many big programs in current terms, financial inclusion of the countries. This is one massive program for our terms now on. Besides to Indonesia as big archivalogues countries though easy to make easy connectivity, but you should working about that. That's why the first priority, of course, same many others in infrastructures. Infrastructure in everything including electricity and road and so on. The second thing to make inclusion is how to increasing of agriculture because it's still around 40% of people working in agriculture, productivity in agriculture is very important to the others. And to make more job need manufacturing. This is one thing that connected each other. There's FDI, we are now same as many countries in Asia, many big priority, but we are working for that. And the third thing, forcing is services including tourists. We are to improving the all capacity to improving the service sector. We are more open countries, more stable in the Asia and Indonesia in politics, no much problems. That's why the whole ASEAN, they are establishing politics and security. This is one thing our biggest capital to more cooperation. And Indonesia itself working how to increasing the equality as you mentioned that very important for the countries to make more stability. As a country that majority Muslim 80%, I think usually make a simple how can be cooperate pluralism moderate. This is one thing our capital to move in the country. But for making inclusion, the same as Prime Minister Honsen say how competition, because ASEAN cooperation, competition, competition in cooperation or cooperation in competition. It's one thing like labor. Many big companies around the world have making us compete too. For instance production of shoes or garment. They say okay we can purchase here if the price is $15. But if not they can't come to Cambodia. If not to Cambodia, they can't see the others Vietnam. Okay, Vietnam can make it 15. You cannot make it. This is meaning they making ours and they sell it in many countries $100. You buy $100. But they buy in our country for $15. It's not equality, inclusion, not only because of our capacity but we shall cooperate around the world to make inclusions with cooperation. Don't push us. Don't push our labor to compete to make more cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.  This is one thing ASEAN will cooperate to make up for its minimum salaries in ASEAN. Not only Indonesia minimum salary but ASEAN minimum salaries. And not for those industry change the food in competitors. Maybe they say oh Vietnam like this we should do that. And only they receive less than $100. How to make equality if the minimum $100 because competition. This means that's why one thing ASEAN could cooperate in this matter because if the world or you making more salaries, more income to the people in countries and the buyer on the purchasing power increasingly they can buy more product from other countries including your countries. You should think like that. Not only make our cheap, cheap, cheap but how to increasingly the productivity and productivity in the country and buy power for the country and the world will be moving. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Vice President of Indonesia. And let me ask the Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam. So you have now a new leadership and congratulations recently been appointed as Deputy Prime Minister. And the business community would like to know what will happen to the reform started in 1986. Will they go ahead and so please give us some comment particularly on the light of inclusion and growth. Excellent. Thank you very much for the question. First of all I want to express my sincere thanks to the organizer, to web leaders for hosting a very important meeting today. And as for Vietnam, Vietnam launched its reform since 1986 and after 30 years of reform, Vietnam has attained important and remarkable accomplishments in many fields. For example, we maintain high growth rate and the economic structure of Vietnam is shifting towards a higher level of industry and services and we made remarkable changes to the people's life. We respect and we attach its great importance to the economic rules, the market economic rules and Vietnam is deepening its international economic integration and Vietnam is now a very active member of ASEAN. And as such, as a result Vietnam has become a lower middle income country. In addition to the achievements, we fully are aware that Vietnam is facing no small challenges like other ASEAN member states. For example, the questions of competitive nets and the question of quality of growth. Therefore Vietnam is promoting and accelerating its reform and integration. And I'm sure that those are the major challenges that Vietnam is facing and therefore Vietnam needs stronger reforms. We are striving to upgrade the infrastructure development in Vietnam, especially the transportation network. Now there is a gap in infrastructure development of Vietnam that we are trying to resolve. We want to increase more sources for infrastructure development. And Vietnam boasts a very young population, skin-foom workers, but we want to really improve the qualifications of the workforce of Vietnam and to meet the demands and requirements of the fourth industrial revolution. Vietnam has many challenges lying ahead. And Vietnam is not alone. I think those challenges also face other ASEAN members. We are all facing the non-traditional security challenges that are threatening peace and stability of our region. And in order to resolve all those matters, I believe that at present and in the coming years Vietnam is focusing on economic restructuring. We are seeking for a good economic model and the growth paradigm for Vietnam, especially Vietnam is taking advantage of the demographic bonus and we want to upgrade the educational system to meet the demands of business community by generating a higher standard generation of labor force. And Vietnam is also concentrating on speeding up the economic restructuring for the national development and to deepen the international integration to continue showcase this high level of commitments of Vietnam to the region and the world. And Vietnam is making many breakthroughs. For example, we're conducting reforms in market, in building the market economy institutions. We want to make sure that we have a transparent environment for business community and for entrepreneurs as well. And this is really very important to the national development of Vietnam. And I entirely agree with Prime Minister Najib Rajak. And I think that all we should continue facilitating the empowerment to the people and to the business community. And Vietnam is trying to enhance infrastructure, especially the transport network in Vietnam, because this is a really important neck to Vietnam's development. And Vietnam is giving high priorities to education and training. Education always tops our development agenda. I believe that when the people get easy and equal access to education opportunities, they will have greater equity and equality in approaching the sources of the society and the community. So then they will be empowered fully and they can create their own products and improve their competitions. And therefore in Vietnam, we are incorporating inclusive growth concept in every blend of action and in every national program. And we gain the success as well. We are dealing with the relationships between economic growth and the benefits that distributed to the people. And I trust that everyone has the right to have the equal access to the development sources. And the state and government must have the responsibilities to make sure that our people can benefit from the high quality growth. In addition, the state can act like the regulators. And we have the responsibility to support the vulnerable groups, especially the farmers in rural areas. For example, Vietnam, Vietnamese people mainly live on agriculture. And therefore we always facilitate and improve the people's life and people's living conditions in rural areas of Vietnam. And to achieve this goal, we combine the objectives of industrialization and agricultural development. Of course, we reduce and downsize the workforce working in agriculture and improve and increase the workforce working in industry and services. But we want to make sure that after economic restructuring, the farmers will not be left behind. And we will create higher values for the farmers and the people working in industry and services will benefit in the same way as the farmers can gain from our economic growth and development. And therefore it is my hope that Vietnam can absorb more investments from international community. And I think that only by improving the business and investment climate can we attract more investors to Vietnam if we have a level of playing field and if we have equal access for all economic players in Vietnam, especially to land sources, to capital sources, and also the administrative procedures are very important for the implementation of the business projects. And I hope that the ASEAN member states will join hands together in the sense of unity and solidarity to make our family very strong in absorbing the investment from the international business community. On the one hand, we need the concerted efforts to improve our synergy. But on the other hand, of course we do have the competition. That is the rule of the market economy. We compete one another. But we also produce the complementary strands. That's when we all can benefit from that. And I think that in a very big economic space like we have today we can enjoy complementary advantages from one another. Thank you very much. Ladies and gentlemen, now I'm a little bit in a difficult situation. As you know, the World Economic Forum is an international organization. But even though we are based in Switzerland, that means we have to finish and to close right in time. So therefore, let me now guide you into the rest of our summit after having such an important input by the respected leaders about their ideas, visions and strategies for ASEAN in terms of growth and inclusion. It's now in you to use this summit to turn all these ideas into reality. To use particularly technologies, what you all mentioned, and Professor Schwab coined recently the term of the forced industrial revolution that could be even sometimes challenging, but at the same time it's a great opportunity for the ASEAN community for 630 million people. So, Excellencies, thank you very much for your great contribution for this opening panel and please ladies and gentlemen, a big hand for our today's panelists.


The story you were about to hear is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent. Fatima cigarettes. Best of all, king-sized cigarettes brings you dragnet on both radio and television.  You're assigned a robbery detail. Two convicts escape from the state penitentiary. They're heading for your city. They're armed. They've boasted they won't be taken alive. Your job? Get them. In Fatima, the difference is quality. Yes, in Fatima, the difference is quality. Prove it yourself today. Compare Fatima with any other king-sized cigarette. One, Fatima's length filters the smoke 85 millimeters for your protection. Two, Fatima's length cools the smoke for your protection. Three, Fatima's length gives you those extra puffs. 21 percent longer than standard cigarette size. And in Fatima, you get an extra mild and soothing smoke plus the added protection of Fatima quality. Definitely the best quality in its class but the same price as a cigarette you're now smoking. Buy Fatima in the bright sunny yellow pack. Best of all, king-sized cigarettes. The documented drama of an actual crime. For the next 30 minutes in cooperation with the Los Angeles Police Department you will travel step-by-step on the side of the law through an actual case transcribed from official police violence. From beginning to end, from crime to punishment, Dragnet is the story of your police force in action. It was Wednesday, October 6th, it was cloudy in Los Angeles. We were working the day watch out of robbery detail. My partner's Ed Jacobs, the boss's Captain Diddy, and my name's Friday. We were on the way out from the office and it was 2.40 p.m. when we got to Kesterson Boulevard. Number 1256. Sounds like she's having a party, huh? Yeah, I'll try it again, huh? Maybe they can't hear it. Yes? Police Officer's Ma'am, you Ruth Thompson? Yes, that's right. What is it? My name's Friday. This is my partner Sergeant Jacob, Central Robbery. We'd like to talk to you a few minutes if we could. Well, I have a party going on right now. A few of my friends are over. What'd you want, Sergeant? It's about Nandy Powell, Mr. Thompson. I understand you know him. I did know him, yes. I haven't seen him for a long time, three or four years anyway. Mind if we ask a few questions about him? It won't take long. All right. Come in, please. Thank you. We're sorry to disturb you, ma'am. It's pretty important that we wouldn't hold you up here. It's all right. Down the hall here. All right. We can talk in the kitchen if you don't mind. It's my girlfriend's birthday today. I thought it'd be nice to have a little party for her. Oh, I see. Chair there if you like. Well, here, let me wipe it off. He spilled a drink on her. Probably Danny would spill a drink. Suppose you know about Andy Powell and Ms. Thompson. What happened this morning? What's that? About Andy Powell. You heard what happened this morning? Just what I read in the morning paper. They said he broke out of San Quentin, another man with him. It's true then. He did break out? Yes, ma'am. That's the information we have. There's an all-points bulletin out on him. Well, I don't want to get involved in it. It's none of my business. Andy doesn't mean anything to me. Well, at the time he was sent up, you were engaged to Powell. Is that right? Yes, but that was before he got into trouble, before he went to San Quentin. I saw him after the trial. I told him how I felt about it. I told him it wasn't any use. And you called it off, that it? It wasn't much else to do. It was robbery, five years to life. It wasn't the first time either. Andy knew it would be a long time, so he died. Really, I had to tell him.  We understand you were on Powell's correspondence list while he was up at Quentin. You wrote to him, did you? Yes, the first couple of months we haven't written lately, though. I wasn't any point to it, no point at all. Well, when was the last time you heard from Powell, Miss Thompson? The last time you wrote to him? Oh, eight or ten months. At least that. As I say, there wasn't much sense in going on. Andy knew he was in there for a long time. He couldn't expect me to wait all that time. Matter of fact, he said he didn't expect it. He told me that. You've been up to visit Powell recently, Miss Thompson? No. No, I haven't. Well, and you haven't seen him since he went up to Quentin. You'll swear to that? Why do I have to swear to what I already told you? Andy doesn't mean anything to me. It didn't make sense. It's all over. I'm not even a relative. Why do I have to swear to anything? You haven't seen Powell since he went up to Quentin, is that right? Miss Thompson, is that right? What if I saw him if I didn't see him? What difference does it make? It's none of my business. Well, did you see him, Miss Thompson? What difference does it make? I don't have anything to do with him. He doesn't mean anything to me. I told you. Did you see him? This morning. When? Late this morning, about 10.30. Was he alone? No, another man was with him. Who was the other man you recognized him? Bert Selby. It's the way you introduced him. He didn't try to hide it. Some fella broke out of jail with him. What'd they want? Why were they here? Clothes. Money. It looked like the devil, both of them terrible. What'd you give them? They asked for them. Not that silly. They didn't trust me anymore and they trust you. Andy had a knife. I tried to tell him I didn't have any money. He didn't believe me. He came at me with that knife. I gave him the money. How much? About $17, $18. Some loose change. They emptied my purse. They took it all. Anything else? Clothes. A couple of suits of my father's. He died last year. They took his gun, too. Never thought Andy'd be that way. It was terrible. What kind of a gun was it, Ms. Thompson? Quote Revolver 38, I think. They took that and closed the money. It was about 10.30 this morning. Malcolm, you didn't report that. You say you knew about the escape. You knew they were wanted, didn't you? Why should I? They warned me about it. They threatened me. They said they'd come back and get me if I told the police. Look, I don't want to get mixed up in this. I'm engaged to a nice fella now. We want to get married. I don't want to get mixed up in this. Andy Powell's nothing to me. Did you watch the two men when they left the house here? You noticed if they drove off in the car? No, I didn't. I just shut the door and prayed I was rid of them. Took my money, food, my dad's clothes. Don't make it any tougher, huh? Please. Well, it's not a question of that, man. We have to find them. We're going to need all the cooperation we can get. I told you everything I could, honestly.  I can't do anymore. I sure hope you don't find him. How's that? When Andy went out the door, it's the last thing he said. He said if the cops ever found him, there was going to be a fight. A terrible look on his face. Yeah. He said you'd never take him alive. The APB had come in a few minutes before 8 o'clock that morning. It was from the warden's office, San Quentin. The two suspects had been assigned to an early morning work detail at the penitentiary and they were first reported missing at the 7 a.m. count. Number one suspect was Andrew A. Powell, WMA, 29 years, 5'9", 175 pounds, brown hair, blue eyes, tan complexion. Suspect number two, Bertram O. Selby, WMA, 31 years, 5'11", 160 pounds, blonde hair, gray eyes, tan complexion. Both of them had long criminal records. Both of them had been serving time for armed robbery. They'd used guns before. We figured if they had to, they'd use them again. Before we left Powell's ex-girlfriend Ruth Thompson, we called the office and arranged for a 24-hour stakeout on her home in case the escaped prisoners returned. We also made arrangements for a stakeout at the downtown restaurant where she was employed as cashier. We passed along the information which the Thompson girl had given us and a broadcast and an APB was gotten out on the suspects. 4.05 p.m., Ed and I continued making the rounds of all unknown friends and associates of the escaped prisoners. We failed to come up with any more leads. 5.50 p.m., we went back to the city hall. Loud and up again, huh? Over there in the east? Yeah, paper says rain tonight and tomorrow we can sure use it. Oh, I can't. What's the matter? I haven't had a chance to get the shoemakers yet. Yeah, look at that. A hole in my shoe. I didn't mean to get them half-sold, I keep forgetting. Yeah, don't tell me that's the only pair of shoes you got. No, I got another pair at home. They're not comfortable though, not broken in. It's trouble with this job. What do you mean? Shoes, you get a new pair, start wearing them around, it happens every time. No sooner get the tops broken in, the soles wear out. It's a vicious circle. Yeah. All right. What's the work? No, hi, Jess. Anything in the book for us? You don't? I don't know. I don't think so. I'll check it. How'd your two make out, any luck? Well, not too bad, Jess. We know Powell and Selby were in town this morning. Good chance they're still here. Any kickback on that last all points we got out? Nothing so far. Gaffney and Ricketts are running down a couple of possibles right now. One of them might pan out. Nothing in the book, Joe. We're clear. Just saying yet on this Powell and Selby thing, got a couple of possibles we're checking on. Both calls came in the last hour. One was a hold-up, Olympic near Vermont. Ponchop there, two men pulled it off, slugged the owner, took clothes, money, 12-gauge shotgun. How about descriptions on a man? They seem to be fairly close. When I got over the phone, Gaffney and Ricketts are out talking to the victim. They took mugs of Powell and Selby along, waiting for their callback now. I said you had two calls. What was the other one? 211 and slugging out on Hollywood Boulevard just above Western. A couple of thieves knocked over a dry good store. Some take, clothes and money. The descriptions are pretty close there, too. Hollywood division's covering, waiting for their callback. Do you want a smoke? Whoa, thanks. Whoa, thanks. Thompson, girl, is the only one who had anything, huh? None of the others could help you out? Yeah, that's about the size of it. Apparently Powell doesn't have too many connections in town. Selby has even less. No more than a dozen names on that list. Were they Joe, friends, relatives? Or an even dozen. A couple of bars Powell was known to hang out when he was in town. Checked them out, too. Nothing. They sure made a beeline here after they broke Quinton. It's a good 500-mile stretch. They don't have the connections here to help them. Then what's the big attraction? Yeah. They could have some help lined up we don't know about. Somebody'd hide them out, keep them in groceries for a while. It's possible they're making a run for one of the border towns. Tijuana, Mexicali. Maybe Powell figured on more help than the Thompson girl. Clothes and money. Enough to get him and Selby over into Mexico, huh? She said all they got was $17. Had to cut corners to make it on that. Robert Gonzalez. Oh, yeah, Jack. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm, sure. Yeah, okay, fine, thanks. Bye. What do you got? Jack Ricketts. He and Gaffney just finished talking to the owner of the pawn shop that was held up, the one on Olympic. Well, they gave him a handful of mug shots to check. He tabbed two of them. Mm-hmm. Powell and Selby. Six thirty p.m., a supplementary broadcast and an APB was gotten out on the two suspects and the record bureau's photocopy room turned out 2,000 copies of Powell's and Selby's mug shot for distribution. At 9 p.m., a theater on Western Avenue was robbed of $192. Powell and Selby were again identified as the holdup men. The robbery victim, the manager of the theater, said that both men were armed. One with a 38 revolver, the other with a sawed-off shotgun. Neither the manager nor the two witnesses were able to tell us how the thieves got away from the scene of the crime if they were on foot or if they had a car. 11, 20 p.m., a hotshot call came through on a holdup at a liquor store in Delicatessen down on South Central Avenue. For the third time that night, Powell and Selby were identified from their mug shots as the holdup men. They'd used the same weapons, the revolver that they'd taken from the Thompson Girls' home and the shotgun that they picked up in the robbery of the Olympic Boulevard pawn shop. Again, the victims were unable to tell us how the suspects got away, whether on foot or by car. Midnight, 1 a.m., there were still no replies to supplementary broadcasts and bulletins which had been gotten out. 1, 25 a.m., another hotshot call came through this time on a holdup and a slugging at the 2050 Room, a small nightclub on West Ninth Street. Ed and I handled the call. For the fourth time, the bandits were identified as Powell and Selby and for the fourth time, they'd made good their escape. We interviewed the manager of the 2050 Roma Herman Saunders. Quite a few people in here at the time of the holdup, Mr. Saunders? Yeah, good for Thursday night, 30 or 40 anyway. We sure left in a hurry. This is the second time this year we've been knocked over. Insurance company isn't going to like it too much. Well, how much money did they take all together, you know? A little less than 600 from the cash register, mostly currency, some rolls of dimes and quarters. About a hundred and a half from my wallet. That's about it. They didn't take anything from the customers. Are you sure about that identification? Are you? There's no chance of a mistake there? I'm positive. I know Andy Paul anywhere. I should know him. Like I told you, he worked for me a year and a half. I was here at 2050? Yeah, he worked behind the bar. Good man, too. I don't get it at all. You mean why he went bad? Well, yeah, that, too.  I spotted Andy soon as I saw him at the bar, so a couple of the waiters. He wasn't wearing any kind of a mask. He didn't make any attempt to disguise himself? It's just that their biggest life, him and this other fella, didn't waste any time either. They pulled the guns, lined up everybody in the place and stood them against that wall over there. Real Wild West style. Took over the whole place. That could real wild, Andy and this other fella. Must be crazy. Nobody was hurt? Didn't slug anyone? I slapped a few of the customers around. I thought for a while they were really going to get rough. They had us lined up against the wall. Andy was acting tough. Had this knife with him, good four inch blade. Went right down the line jabbing people where they're threatening him. Must be out of his mind. You say he didn't take any money from the customers. Yeah, that's right. They worked it pretty fast. Emptied the cash register, then my wallet, then they beat it.  Well, how'd they get away? Do you have any idea on that? Old guy who sells papers down the corner, he says he thinks he saw a car pull away right after the stick-up. Said it was a blue sedan. Don't know how much stock you can put it. The old man's eyes aren't what they used to be. Do you know Paul pretty well when he was working here, Mr. Saunders?  No, I didn't know him that well. He worked for me, that's all. I still have his old address, the place he was living when he worked for me. I can get it if you want. Yeah, if you would, please. Sure, no trouble. I just don't get it. Don't get it at all. Of all the joints in town he could have held up, he had to pick mine, the one place he'd be recognized. You think he'd have better sense, wouldn't you? He'd think so, yeah.  Biggest mistake you ever made. No, he made a bigger one yesterday. Yeah, what was that? Twenty broke prison. 205 a.m. Further investigation at the scene of the latest hold-up failed to turn up any new leads. While Ed and I checked on Powell's former address, which we'd gotten from the owner of the 2050 room, Gonzales, Ricketts and Gaffney continued checking the immediate neighborhood. In addition, a special detail from Metro Division was sent in to cover the entire area. The suspect's former address turned out to be a rooming house up on West Temple Street. The landlady remembered Andy Powell, but she had no forwarding address on him, and she could tell us nothing about his former friends and associates. We checked back with Gonzales, Ricketts and Gaffney, and they told us that besides the old newspaper vendor, the counterman at the coffee shop near the 2050 room had also spotted a blue sedan leaving the vicinity of the nightclub shortly after the hold-up. He was able to give them the make, the model, and a partial license number. A supplementary all points had been gotten out on it immediately, and the information relayed to DMV in auto theft detail. 3.10 a.m. Ed and I completed our assignment in the investigation and went back to the office to check for instructions from Captain Didion. Can't see how we'd be much use out on the street the way things stand now, can you? No, I don't. Everything's covered, I can think of. Supplementary all points is out. Detail for Metro is working in everything. It's funny, isn't it? What's that? Unless Andy Powell, going back to that place he used to work and holding it up, that doesn't make any sense at all, does it? That's for sure. Must have known somebody was going to recognize him. Couldn't have been a coincidence. That was only one way I can figure it. They don't care. Either one of them. They got their money now. A car. They both got guns. They're out to go as far as they can. Oh, hi, Jess. Hi. You just get back in? Hi, Joe. Hi. You as tired as you sound? Worse. Fair piece of news, though. Yeah, what's that? Powell and Selby. They just found their hideout. After three hours of canvassing the general downtown area, particularly in the vicinity of the last holdup, a team of men working with a special detail from Metropolitan Division interviewed a desk clerk in a small hotel on South Broadway who recognized the suspect's mug shots. The two of them had registered early the morning before under the names J.E. Dennis and Harold Thompson, both from Fresno, California. The hotel room was searched and two San Quentin inmate uniforms were found stuffed under the mattress of the bed. After the room was processed for fingerprints, there was no doubt that the recent occupants were Powell and Selby. The clerk had no idea when they were supposed to return. The hotel was staked out immediately and the city-wide search for the escaped prisoners went on. The following day, Thursday, October 7th, 11.30 a.m., still no sign of the suspects, no further reports or leads as to their whereabouts. The search went on. Ed and I signed back in at the office. Ten minutes later, a long-distance phone call came in for us. When was that, Mort? What's that? Yeah, close enough, right? We'll let you know, yeah. Bye. Mort Gere down to San Diego. Yeah, what do you want? One of the traffic officers was checking a car about 8 o'clock this morning, 586 parking. Mm-hmm. Blue sedan fits close to the description of the escape car. That's a pretty common model, isn't it? Do you see anything else? Traffic man checked the inside of the car. I found half a dozen rows of dives and quarters. Same name stamped on all of them. Yeah, 2050 room. You are listening to Dragnet. Authentic stories of your police force in action. Comparison proves Fatima quality. Prove Fatima quality yourself today. Compare Fatima with any other king-size cigarette. One, Fatima's length filters the smoke 85 millimeters for your protection. Two, Fatima's length cools the smoke for your protection. Three, Fatima's length gives you those extra puffs, 21% longer than standard cigarette size. And in Fatima, you get an extra mild and soothing smoke, plus the added protection of Fatima quality.

Fatima, extra mild and soothing, plus the added protection of Fatima quality. Smoke Fatima. Best of all, king-size cigarettes. October 7th, Thursday, 1 p.m. After we got the report from Lieutenant Mort Geer that the escape car along with a few dollars of the stolen money had been located in San Diego that morning, Ed and I had a meeting with Captain Didion. It was beginning to look like our first hunch was right. Powell and Selby's 24-hour campaign of hold-ups in the Los Angeles area had netted them a fresh change of clothes and more than enough money to live on for a while. With the locating of the escape car in San Diego, it looked like the suspects were apparently taking the next logical step, a fast move over the international border into Mexico, a distance of less than 20 miles from San Diego. Probably they figured once over the line they had a good chance of losing themselves. 1.40 p.m. On Captain Didion's orders, Jess Gonzalez, Ed and I got in the car and headed south for San Diego with a supply of mug shots of the escaped prisoners. We got there a few minutes after 4 p.m. We went directly to the San Diego PD where we contacted Sergeant Tony McGuire, robbery detail. Tough week, huh? They've been driving you crazy up there. Just about Tony, four robberies in 24 hours giving us a run. How about more gear? Yeah, he just went down the hall, Jess. I ought to be back in a minute. I want you for a sit-down. Thanks very much. What's the latest, Tony? Anything since you picked up that blue sit-down? No, not much. Got the car in the impound, had a dust of a prince. We made him all right. What about Powell and Selby? No sign of them around town? No, I've got it pretty well covered too. Not a trace. We're in a good spot to make it over into Mexico. Hate to disappoint you. What do you mean? We think they already made it. At 6 o'clock that night, Gonzalez, Ed and I together with Lieutenant Gear, Tony McGuire and Sergeant's Gaetan and Schultz drove south from San Diego to the international line. We left mug shots of Powell and Selby with the immigration officers at the entry gate. Then we drove into the town of Tijuana, contacted the local commandant of police, and he promised us full cooperation. He assigned a special detail of his men to work with us in covering the town. At 8 p.m., the block-by-block canvas of the city began. Every back alley, every bar, every restaurant, every hotel, they were all checked. The tourist attractions, the souvenir stands, the night clubs, the highlight pavilion. We went straight through on it, 8 o'clock that night until 5 o'clock the next morning. All it got us was sore feet and a mediocre lead from a native taxi driver. After being shown the mug shots, he told one of the Mexican officers in the detail that about noon that day, he picked up two Americans resembling Powell and Selby and driven them to the town of Takati, another Mexican tourist spot about 25 miles to the east. 10.30 a.m., we drove over and checked with the police at Takati, and they told us the two Americans had arrived in the town that morning. He invited Jess Gonzalez to go along with the three of his men to the hotel where the men were supposed to be staying. Ed and I waited in the office. Hi. Hi, Jess. What do you got? Not much. Went over to the hotel. The two men weren't there. Desklerk says they told him they were driving out to a little village about a mile from here. Police coming down asked me to come back here and wait. He said he and his men would drive out to the village and check the men out. That seems a little funny, doesn't it? Well, he didn't invite me to come along. It's not a good idea to push him on me, after all, it's his jurisdiction. We're supposed to wait here till they get back? Yeah. We might be him now. See, police here? Uh-huh, yeah. Let's see, see. About half an hour, yes, sir? All right, gracias. Goodbye, sir. The commandant, he and his men found the two Americans. Yeah. No go, they're not Powell and Selby. Half an hour later, the police commandant of Takati returned to the station along with his men and the two American tourists in question. One look at them and we knew we'd made the trip from Tijuana for nothing. Except for their build and the color of their hair, the two Americans bore little or no resemblance to Powell and Selby. 2.30 p.m., we headed back for Tijuana and we checked in with Mort Geer and the rest of the men. While we'd been gone, they'd chased down half a dozen leads, but none of them had panned out. The rest of the afternoon, we covered the racetrack at Agua Caliente and distributed mug shots of the suspects to all track police officers. The mutual windows were covered, and also the foreign book. No luck. The six of us took time out for a bite of supper and we talked it over. Logically, the next place in line to cover was either the fishing town of Ensenato on the coast or the city of Mexicali, further inland. We decided to try Ensenato first. 7.30 p.m. that night, we checked in at the Ensenato police station where we met with the local sub-commandant, Pedro Martinez. Like the other commandants in Tijuana and Tecate, he offered full cooperation and gave us a special detail of men to aid in the search. We gave him a supply of mug shots of the two convicts to distribute among his men. Here you are, sir. These are pictures of one of them, Andrew Powell. This one here is the other man, Bert Selby. All right, thank you. Juan? Juan! Si. Si. Que es? These pictures, Juan. Criminals. They are for distribution to the men, one each. Si, si. Estas son sombres? Si, si, por que? Un momento, un momento. Si. Excuse me, officers. Yeah, sorry. Go ahead. Joe, what is? It's got me, I don't know. See the look on his face on the chief's shirt and the mug shots? He's got something on his mind. Let's wait a minute. Officers, I hope you'll excuse me. Yes, sir, anything wrong? My assistant, Teniente San Filippo. He says he knows the pictures of these men. Oh, how's that? He says he saw these men this morning here in Ensenada. Yeah, he's sure about that, is he? Yes, sir. He says he's sure. He says the two men were here last night right here in the station. You mean your men booked them in? They committed some kind of crime? Oh, no, sir. They came in to report a crime. 8.20 p.m. On further questioning, the assistant to the Ensenada commandant of police told us that the night before, two men answering calls and Selby's description had come in to file a complaint at the central police station. They charged that they'd had their pockets picked at a local bar while they were under the influence of alcohol. The two complainants, who matched Powell's and Selby's descriptions perfectly, signed themselves J.E. Dennis and Harold Thompson, both from Fresno, California, the same names and addresses that had been used by the occupants of the Southside Los Angeles hotel room where the discarded prison uniforms had been found a day and a half before. After a while, after a brief talk with the police commandant, he dispatched a special detail to go out and pick up the two men registered as Dennis and Thompson at a motel near the south end of the city. At the commandant's request, we remained at the office, 9 p.m., 9.30. The detail assigned to the job returned, but with only one of the suspects with him, Andrew Powell. While resisting arrest, the other suspect identified as Selby received a cut forward and was being taken to a local clinic for treatment. The commandant briefed us on what had happened. The rooms were searched, Officer Friday. Some money was found. Also, two guns. A revolver and a shotgun. Here they are. All right, thanks very much, sir. Well, Powell, how about it? You ready to cop out? What are you talking about? Cop out. Would you guys come all the way down here for anyway? You can't touch us. What makes you think we can't? You can't, that's all. You know better. You can't arrest us down here. No jurisdiction. We didn't arrest you, Powell. The Mexican officers did. Okay, fine. Now, how do you expect to get us out of Mexico? Yes, again, Copper. You know you can't do it. You haven't got the right to. Maybe. You want to tell us where you have the loot, the money you took in those hold-ups? Why should I? Look, why don't you admit it? We got you beat. We got over the line. You can't touch us down here. Don't bet on that, mister. Comment down? Yes, sir. You want to tell them how it stands? I will see that the general in charge of the Northern District is notified in the morning of your case. He will see that you and your partner are deported. What are you trying to pull? You can't do that. You know it. It's illegal. So is robbery, Powell. Come up. It doesn't make any difference. You can't touch us in Mexico. It's against the law. You can't touch us. I'm afraid you have made a mistake. If you like, you can pass the word. How long would it be for us to receive the prisoners at the line, sir? I don't know. A long time, I think. Maybe as long as one o'clock tomorrow. You know you can't do this. You'll never get away with it. I know a lawyer until you want to get him to straighten it out. You understand, Sergeant. We can't hand this man over to you now. But if you will be at the international border at one o'clock tomorrow, I'm sure they'll be crossing over. You can't do this. It's illegal. You know you can't do it. We're going to try. At least in your time, why don't you admit it? You can't arrest us. We got over the line. You can't arrest us. You know it. You know that, don't you? There's only one thing I know for sure, pal. Yeah? San Quentin.  The story you have just heard was true. The names were changed to protect the innocent. On December 9th, trial was held in Superior Court, Department 87, City and County of Los Angeles, State of California. In a moment, the results of that trial. Now, here is our star, Jack Webb. Thank you, George Fenerman. Friends, try a pack of Fatimas tomorrow and compare them yourself.  Now, in my opinion, nothing proves our confidence in Fatima more than that. So buy a pack tomorrow. I know you'll agree with me that Fatima is the best of all king-size cigarettes. That in Fatima, the difference is quality. Andrew Powell and Bertram Selby were deported from Mexico as undesirable aliens and returned over to U.S. authorities at the international border. They were immediately arrested by police officers on the American side and returned to Los Angeles for trial. They pled guilty to four counts of first-degree robbery and received sentences as prescribed by law.  After being returned to San Quentin, Powell and Selby were filed on, tried and convicted of escape. Both of them are now serving life terms in the state penitentiary, Represa, California.

Going to Winter Ball down in Venezuela, this one is brought to you by DraftKings. Thank you, DraftKings. There's a lot of messed up stuff you're about to see. We got a guy getting blindsided with a clothesline during his home run trot. You got a baseball, gets thrown at another guy's head in the middle of the brawl. You got two guys squaring up but never throwing a punch. It's kind of crazy and this is how it started. So in the first inning, the first batter grounds out to the third baseman who throws it over to Azdrubal Cabrera, 15-year MLB vet who makes the catch. The pitcher says nice play.   The vibes are good. It's Winter League. The next batter works a walk. He's on first as Krabs is saying, what's up, dude? How you doing? Good to see you. He's in a joyous mood. And then he misses the pickoff which allows that runner to go to second base and maybe that doles his spirit a little bit because he was all happy and stuff and it was right in his glove and he misses it. And then after that, he's like, oh boy, okay, maybe I'll stop jokin' around. That runner steals third. And then after that, this, our other main star of the video, Carlos Castro comes up to the plate number 29 and he takes the first pitch and pimps the ball. You know, that's a ball. I don't even need two hands on the bat. Nope. Another ball. Ball three, three and oh. What's good, Coach? Can I swing? Yeah? Okay. Swings, two run, home run, over the fence and he's gonna toss his bat. Boom! Never looks at the other team. It's all for himself but Azdrubal Cabrera's like, uh, what, dude? Why'd you do that? So close to us. Just a little heart. He kisses it. The other dug out. The other team, he looks at him. He's like, what's wrong? And they're like, we're mad at you and we're all posting up and looking tough about it.  He's like, yeah, it was cool. And they're like, well, we don't think so. We're mad. Look at us all standing the same way. And he's like, whatever. See you guys later. Let's carry on through the game. In the bottom of the second inning, Azdrubal Cabrera comes up, grounds out to the pitcher, kind of weakly taps it to him. He's out. In the top of the fourth, he talks to the base runner. He's explaining himself like, hey man, he was just too close to us. We didn't like it. And the guy's like, okay, okay, okay. And he's like, okay, all right, we're cool. Bottom of the fourth inning, full count. Azdrubal Cabrera strikes out and then it's a strike him out, throw him out, double play, tying runners on first. Not good. Vibes are bad. Top of the sixth inning, Castro's up again. A 2-2 pitch. He pops another home run. His second of the night and he goes, thanks God. And then kind of gives him a look. How you like that one, huh? Bottom sixth inning, they intentionally walk Azdrubal Cabrera to get the force out, put him on first base because there was already a runner on second. And that leads to the tying run being scored in the bottom of the sixth. And the team celebrates like crazy. I mean, they're throwing helmets, knocking them away. It's just the tying run, but they're doing their fair celebrating as well. Doesn't seem to be rude now. They even take the lead, which brings us to the top of the eighth inning when Carlos Castro is up again, tie game. He already has two home runs on the day. They bring in the new pitcher, number 76, the lefty to face him and he's geared up. His dude loves the moment. First pitch, boom, hits another homer and now it's the go-ahead home run in the eighth inning and it's his third of the day. And he looks at him and says, can I bat flip now? Is that allowed? And they say, absolutely not. Not allowed. Bam, done. Azdrubal Cabrera, just clothesline, sneak attack, messed up, decks him, drops him pretty hard. It looks at him like, what's wrong? You didn't see that one coming, did you? And he's like, no, he's on the ground, pretty hurt. And then it gets messy. Azdrubal Cabrera is now on his head. He kind of got tabletopped by his own pitcher and the first basement combo. So he takes a tumble. He's kind of too old to be tumbling like that. The other guy, he's still down and they're still hitting him and pushing him. And this one coach or player comes up and throws a left at him while he's on his knees, like super messed up. So they're all get their push in, right? And then look at this coach. He comes up and kind of, he's just on his knees, kind of banged up and hurt, squares up and hits him in the left side of the head. Messed up. Meanwhile, the pitcher's screaming at him, like, dude, I didn't like that. I didn't like that at all. So the pitcher takes off his hat to show off his hair, runs over, kind of tabletops his teammate, Azdrubal Cabrera. And then he gets a push in on him while he's down. Then he immediately turns around and squares up and he's like, who else? Who else wants them? Who else wants them? Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. And number one on the other team is like me. Let's go.  We'll just come get me and then we'll fight. As soon as you get here, I'll fight you. Throw those little slabs. He's like, come on, guys. Why don't you fight me? Why don't you fight me? Meanwhile, number 56 saw the sucker punch there, which sucks. And he is livid about that. And he's just searching for this guy. Look at him searching, searching. Where are you? Thinks he finds him and starts wailing on him. But watch what happens here as that's happening. This dude just dropped to the ground. And I'm like, what? What was that? I went to watch it back and you can see after he goes down. Watch this. Stay with me. After he goes down, you can see the ball above his head. It hit his head and the ball goes up in the air. And I was like, what? Did that ball land from the sky in his head? But no, it actually came from, so if you backtrack now, you can see it on the left side of the screen by the guy's head. Someone threw a ball into this crowd as hard as they could, which is as messed up and dangerous as it gets. And it hit that dude right in the head and dropped him. Now, here, watch. You can see it. Magnify the ball. You can see it. Just a little streak of ball come, hit some, and then the ball goes up and he gets dropped. Crazy. There's the ball. Hits him in the head. It knocks his hat off. The ball goes in the air. You can see some of the other guys.  And then the ball comes down and it lands on his hat. It's almost like that ball was on a magnet for the dude's hat because it hit him right in the hat. It ricochets up. He's down hard. The ball is up in the air and then drops back down onto his hat. That ball was like a missile for the hat. And everyone now is like, whoa, like that dude puts his hands up and number 21 is like, what was that? And then meanwhile, top of the screen, the pitcher and the other guy are still squaring up but not throwing punches. A little leg kick, nothing. Squaring up. You're going to fight me. I'm going to fight you. You're going to fight me. I'm going to fight you. Nothing. And they get separated. They take his dribble cabrera out of the game.  You fell. They take the pitcher out of the game. Like dude, you squared up for so long. You must be tired. The guy who got hurt trying to catch his breath immediately is like, get me out. I'm going back in the action. Runs into the action, stops on a dime before he gets there. Is anyone going to hold me back? Come on, guys. They hold him back so he goes around to the other side. He's like, is anyone going to hold me back now? And he's looking and he's looking and he's looking and the Ostadillo lookalike or it's Ostadillo. I don't know. He's got big blonde hair, big guy with blonde hair, right, right here. He's going to get in the mix and he gets absolutely decked. Actually, I don't know if he got decked or he tripped over his foot, but the Castro kid who got hit, he finally makes his attack jumps in and then he's down. Ostadillo lookalike or Ostadillo, I don't know, is down hard. So now he's mad and another scrum happens because there was another hit punch going on. They get the pitcher out of there again. He must have ran back in because they're like, dude, we already got you out of here. And then the big dude with the yellow hair, he's pissed now because he ended up on the ground. So they got to get him out of there. So they escort him to the dugout, but he's pissed about it.  I was on my knees and they're punching and pushing me. All I did was hit a home run. So he runs out again. Where am I going? Where am I going? Where are they? Where are they? Number seven, he's the one that was talking on base with Cabera earlier. He gets out there and then it kind of starts to die down at this point. And they wait for the umpires to get together and figure it all out. And they're just standing there, waiting the coaches out there awkwardly. What do you even do at this point? There was so much messed up stuff happening. I don't even think they know about the baseball that got thrown. Look at this guy. This is the guy that got hit in the head with the baseball. That's scary. Really scary. Who threw that baseball? It's offscreen. They have to make sure the home run counts.   What was that? Someone threw a baseball in the middle of the pile. That's like a salt. Did you get in trouble? My head hurts. And he's right. They should.  They're getting the equipment. They're doing their job. They're earning their tips. I hope they tip them. Anyway, that's the whole brawl and it was wild. I only saw the clothes line at first and then when I started going in the breakdown, I kept making it and making it and making it and finding more and more just kind of a lot of assault happened in this brawl, like actual assault that people should get in trouble for real.  Anyway, thanks for watching and thanks to DraftKings for sponsoring the breakdowns. I appreciate you. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. See you later.


A novel end-to-end change detection method is proposed using an effective encoder-de-coder architecture for semantic segmentation named Unet++, which learns change maps from scratch using available annotated data sets and outperforms other state-of-the-art CD methods on very high resolution satellite image data sets.
