Malaysia's last outbreak of bird flu was in early 2006. No human cases were reported, and the nation declared itself bird-flu free last June. In March this year, Malaysia imposed a crackdown on poultry smuggling, after bird flu was reported in neighboring countries.

Two planes from two Indonesian airlines had to make emergency landings on Wednesday.
In one incident, a Gardua Indonesia Boeing 737-400 was forced to make an emergency landing after a leaking rubber seal on a cargo door resulted in a drop in cabin pressure. The flight was bound for Batam from Jakarta, but had to land in Palembang, South Sumatra.
Another 737, flown by Batavia Air, returned to Semarang, 30 minutes into its flight to Jakarta, because of engine trouble.
No injuries were reported in either incident.
