This is why Malaysian govt has refused to blame the Indonesian govt publicly for the haze. It doesn't have the time to get into a petty fight like this with Indonesian politicians. Wait until ASEAN summit in Nov, then Indonesia is going to get told 'politely' about it. – at Petaling, Selangor
Indonesia’s digital minister is basically threatening to cut internet access to Singapore thru subsea cable laid in the seabed of Indonesian waters. Reckless move amidst the effort to use Singapore as scapegoat by the government.

It was an honour for @GirtonCollege, @Cambridge_Uni to host #Oman's Foreign Minister, @badralbusaidi. The Minister offered a vision for a way out of today's conflict: an inclusive regional non-aggression pact involving all 8 Gulf countries (GCC + Iraq and, crucially, #Iran).

Enjoyed meeting UCL students in London today. We discussed the major transformations and challenges shaping our world, Oman’s vision on key regional and international issues, and their implications for security and stability. We also reflected on the challenges facing young people, particularly climate change, food security, and economic and social inequality. A thoughtful conversation on the issues of our time.

L.K. Advani ji remained actively involved in politics until 2019. He served as the LS MP from Gandhinagar from 2014 to 2019 and retired at the age of 91. This is the real blueprint for PM Modi: Stay fit, and he still has 15 prime years ahead. Modi Kahin Nahi Jayega Till 2041.

Polls suggest the Overton window in Israel has shifted so farther right that it will make Bibi look like the moderate.

Terror was met with courage. Courage was met with honour. President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed embraces Captain Smit Machchhar, hero of flydubai Flight FZ1073, honoured with the Order of Zayed II. In the UAE, bravery knows no nationality. Heroes are treated as heroes. 🇦🇪🇮🇳

Spoiler alert - Even if he loses the bulk of his seats, Benjamin Netanyahu will still be Israel's Prime Minister next week. As a caretaker PM, he could remain in office for weeks, perhaps months. A record number of Israelis have come out to choose their new government. Polls close at 10pm local time (8pm UK). Official results should be published on 4 November.
