[[Image:Hahn portrait.jpg|right|160px|thumb|An Asian rooster.]]
One year after declaring itself free of the virus, a new outbreak of the deadly [[w:H5N1|H5N1]] strain of [[avian flu]] was reported on Wednesday in [[Malaysia]], among poultry in Sungei Buluh, a village in [[w:Selangor|Selangor]] state.

"We will cull birds within a one kilometer radius from the index cases," Kamarudin Mohammed Isa of the Department of Veterinary Services, was quoted as saying by [[w:Agence France-Presse|Agence France-Presse]]. Authorities expected kill about 2,000 chickens.

Malaysia's last outbreak of bird flu was in early 2006. No human cases were reported, and the nation declared itself bird-flu free last June. In March this year, Malaysia imposed a crackdown on poultry smuggling, after bird flu was reported in neighboring countries.
