Yudhoyono urges Indonesians to resolve conflict w/ Malaysia
Row sparked by arrest of three Indonesian maritime officers in disputed waters last month



Indonesian President Yudhoyono has urged Indonesians to resolve conflict with Malaysia, The Straits Times reports. The Nation (Thailand) quotes Cambodian PM Hun Sen as saying that the recent thaw with Thailand following resumption of diplomatic relations would not help solve the border conflict as long as Thai troops were stationed in the area near the Preah Vihear temple, claimed by both countries. The North Korean Workers’ Party is set to reorganise its leadership system early this month to lay the ground for 26-year-old Kim Jong-un to succeed his father, according to The Korea Herald. A magnitude-5 earthquake struck off Sinabang, Aceh early Thursday, but there was no report of damage or injury, The Jakarta Post says. Meanwhile, relatives of the 57 victims in the Maguindanao massacre wept in disgust as the long-awaited trial was postponed anew, the Philippine Daily Inquirer reports.

TAIPEI: Opinionated spectators beware: talking loudly during a game of chess can land you almost two months in jail. A Taiwanese court has sentenced an elderly man to 59 days of detention for assault. The man, surnamed Lin, was watching a chess game at a local park when he made excessive remarks disparaging the players' strategies and got combative when they told him to keep quiet. Lin, 79, was standing behind a sexagenarian chess player surnamed Tao, giving him and his opponent unwanted advice and commentary. He meddled when a dispute ensued and beat one of the players.
