    IN supermarkets today, Singaporeans can buy Thai rice, Vietnamese coffee and Filipino dried mangoes at "very affordable prices" - this is one of the ways people here have benefited from a free flow of goods and services among Asean countries.

    Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong cited this on Friday at an event to launch Singapore's chairmanship of Asean, adding that: "Asean is not just for diplomats and officials."
