Malaysia has urged regional leaders at the ASEAN Summit to commit to expanding the post-earthquake ceasefire in Myanmar’s civil war, to ease the country’s humanitarian crisis.The recent India-Pakistan confrontation made it quite clear the most dangerous weapon they have is narrative.When India launched Operation Sindoor and Pakistan replied with Operation Bunyan-um-Marsoos, the world braced for escalation.
