(Oct 5): Malaysian bonds beat all their regional peers last quarter, as rising oil prices bolstered the government's coffers. The expected rollback of oil subsidies in next week's budget announcement may provide another updraft. Bonds of the oil-exporting nation returned a relatively small loss of 0.7% in the three months through September, amid a torrid period for global debt markets. In comparison, their counterparts in Indonesia slid 3.6%, while in Thailand, they tumbled 5.7%. The Malaysian government has been talking about plans to lower oil subsidies for some time to reduce its budget deficit.

Aussies complete miracle chase for 1-0 Ashes lead Pat Cummins admits the agony of the 2019 Headingley Test had played on his mind before lifting Australia to one of their greatest ever Ashes wins. Cummins hit the winning runs in the dying minutes of the first Test at Edgbaston on Tuesday evening (Wednesday morning AEST) in what Australia's captain described as the best victory of his career. His opposite number Ben Stokes noted the coincidence of Nathan Lyon being at the other end in the unbroken 55-run partnership that sealed the two-wicket victory, given the pair's central roles in England's even more slender victory during the Leeds Test four years ago.

BEIJING, May 23 -- Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and the one-China principle is the prerequisite for Taiwan to participate in foreign economic cooperation, a spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce said Tuesday. The comments came after the United States announced that it would sign the first agreement with the Taiwan region of China under the "U.S.-Taiwan Initiative on 21st Century Trade." China always firmly opposes countries that have diplomatic relations with it to conduct any form of official exchanges with Taiwan, including the negotiation and signing of any economic and trade agreement with sovereignty implications and official nature, said the spokesperson.

Joey de Leon earned the ire of netizens after the TV host blurted a joke about 'Francise M,' an apparent play on the word 'franchise' and the late Master Rapper's name. After 'Eat Bulaga' mainstays De Leon, Tito Sotto and Vic Sotto's (TVJ) announcement of their disengagement from production company TAPE Inc., one @tenchi_MNL pointed out via a tweet how De Leon has now apparently experienced being forced to be off-air. 'Joey de Leon several times threw shade ‘kami may franchise,' the netizen said, apparently referring to the host's supposed allusion to ABS-CBN's failed franchise bid.
