JAKARTA, Feb 5 (Reuters): The leaders of Indonesia and Malaysia on Friday said they were seeking a special meeting of South-East Asian nations to discuss the situation in Myanmar, where an elected government was overthrown in a coup this week.

Throwing a wedge in Myanmar's transition to democracy, the military took power on Monday, alleging irregularities in a November election won in a landslide by the party of Aung San Suu Kyi.
