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

They discuss Malaysia’s central bank Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) increasing the overnight policy rate by 25 basis points to 2.25 per cent, to tame inflation.
They also cover how Malaysian authorities are not indicating when they will lift their chicken export ban, and highlights of Indonesian President Joko Widodo's visit to Ukraine and Russia, and the Chinese foreign minister’s ‘advice’ to Myanmar.
