Under arrest: Canadian police have arrested two men and are seeking two others for exporting controlled goods and technologies intended for space satellite use to China in violation of export and defense laws.

PETALING JAYA: The Human Rights Commission of Malaysia (Suhakam) has urged the government to honour its pledge to repeal the Sedition Act 1948.
