  • S1E37: Malaysia's stand on Ukraine crisis as Russian oil tanker approaches its shores: Regional Round-up

    Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses South-east Asia's top news developments in this weekly podcast.

    Dr Oh Ei Sun, senior fellow at Singapore Institute of International Affairs, stands in for The Straits Times' regional correspondent Leslie Lopez who is on leave, and he chats with Money FM 89.3's Elliot Danker and Bharati Jagdish.

    In this week's episode, they analyse how a Russian oil tanker, hit by US sanctions, is heading to Malaysia and putting the country in a bind amid the Ukraine-Russia crisis. Also, the implications of Myanmar soldiers allegedly taking 80 children as hostages, violating international law, before releasing them. Three different parties in Indonesia are proposing President Jokowi to serve beyond the expiration of his term in 2024.
