    Malaysia begins controversial repatriation of asylum seekers to Myanmar (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Malaysian government has started repatriating around 5,000 asylum seekers from Myanmar, under a controversial deal agreed with Myanmar's military ruler Min Aung Hlaing. Three ships from the Myanmar navy departed from Malaysia on Tuesday carrying the first 1,476 returnees. Human rights groups have condemned the repatriation, saying the returnees could face violence, persecution and forced conscription into the Myanmar army. Malaysia has described the repatriation as voluntary, but has barred

    USS Abraham Lincoln: US sailors unwind in Thailand by shopping and bar-hopping (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

At the Hard Rock Hotel – one of two beachside hotels where they were able to stay off the ship – they hung around clutching their recent purchases.

    Thailand has a gun problem - 10 million of them (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Just three days after a 14-year-old opened fire at his school, killing eight people before shooting himself, another incident in the same province illustrated even more starkly Thailand's troubled relationship with guns. Chalong Riewrang, a 71-year-old former politician, went into the local administration office to discuss a large sum of money he says he was owed by the administration chief, Thongchai Yenprasert, a man he called his friend. The conversation ended abruptly with Chalong pulling ou

    Thailand suspends new gun permits after Nonthaburi school shooting (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Thailand's government will immediately stop issuing gun permits after a shooting incident last week in which a 14-year-old killed eight people and himself. Existing gun owners are already banned from carrying their weapons in public. The South East Asian country has one of the highest rates of civilian gun ownership in the region, with around 10.3 million firearms in civilian possession, and high levels of gun crime.
