Southeast Asian stocks: Malaysia, Indonesia near 7-month low


Stocks in Singapore and the Philippines both fell for a third trading day to the
lowest since January, in line with weakness in Asia. 
    Thai SET index edged up 0.06 percent as investors
bought shares with good earnings prospect such as skytrain
operator BTS Group Holdings and asphalt maker Tipco
Asphalt.
    Foreign investors turned net buyers of Thai shares for the
first time in eight trading days, with a modest net purchase of
53 million baht ($1.57 million).
