It seems Olympus is on a roll, with an announcement for two new M.Zuiko lens which include the Olympus M. Zuiko Digital 25mm F1.8 lens and M.Zuiko Digital Ed 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ lens. The Olympus M. Zuiko Digital 25mm F1.8 lens is designed for close-up shots with a maximum magnification factor of 0.24x at 35mm and lets you shoot from 25cm away. It works well with the Macro Conversion Lens MCON-P02 which shrinks the distance down to 17cm away. A Movie and Still Compatible mechanism can be added on as well. The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital Ed 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 EZ lens on the other hand is fast, silent and the most compact zoom lens in the entire series. The price to be paid here is that it just has a 3x zoom. However, it does offer a shooting range of just 20cm on wide angle or 25cm on telephoto. While there isn't any specific Malaysia release dates or pricing these lenses should be available from February 2014.
