Asia News on Jan. 8, 2020

I believe that Iran is Asia or should be considered Asian because of not only its geographical location but also because how Iranians created many things that Asians use to become smart. For example they created Modern Medicine and Algebra. They also have a great amount of knowledge, not including the Government. They also created basic human rights (Cyrus the Great's cylinder).

So just tell me your opinion.

Malarial tablet yes or no in South-East Asia?

Hello, everyone! I am going to travel to South East Asia from mid-January to May (close to 5 months) and I am reading some mixed reviews about the actual necessity for malarial tablets. I've bought around 60 tablets already but I'm wondering if I really need for every single day as my doctor suggested for just in case. What do you guys think? (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam I will be going to typical tourist places but I am also travelling by buses the borders and borders are usually always high-risk) Before anybody asks yes I have a good travel insurance I'm not trying to have to use it though lol
