In December 2005, representatives from five Muslim insurgent groups met secretly with senior Thai military and intelligence officers in Langkawi, Malaysia to develop a peace plan for the South-a conference mediated by former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad.

Luong Du fled Saigon, Vietnam, when he was 17, stopping in a Malaysian refugee camp before making it to Edmonton, Alberta in 1979. It was in Canada that Lu met his wife, Phuong.

The company will launch another financing round in September to raise €60 million to fund its production plans. If consumers are finally...
...Gangster, from Malaysian director Badi Hj. Azmi, is a standard exercise in macho auto-eroticism, but with extra horsepower. Malaysian punks race their souped-up cars on the public highways of the country?s capital - sort of The Fast and the Kuala Lumpurious. But it also interweaves three stories, making it a Crash with lots more fender-benders, and all in 79 zippy minutes. There?s also a scene in which a kidnapper rapes a sweet Muslim wife while her child?s in the room. No fatwas, please...
