commonly offered by the modern-industrial countries to the third world or the oil producer Middle East
countries. This leads to advantages for the third world countries such as knowledge and experience
improvement, international networking and carrier opportunity. However, it remains a serious problem
on penetrating the values of the donor countries to the participants for instance secularism and religious
radicalism. This is dealing with the asymmetric relations between the donor and the recipient.

Southeast Asian countries to enhance ASEAN Society without the soft power tendency. This paper
uses Regionalism theory of the International Relations to explain why Muhammadiyah as the biggest
Islamic movement of Indonesia should initiate to provide the scholarship program for the Pattani
students studying at Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta and other appointed Muhammadiyahs’
universities. In addition, Soft Diplomacy concept is also a tool needed to explain the West and Middle
