The New Straits Times put its lens over the Korean conflict, warning that playing the blame game in the recent sinking of a South Korean warship could push an all-out war.

Sin Chew Daily said Malaysia should learn from Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama who has come under pressure to resign for alleged corruption in his party.
