Sadly in most Asian countries there is no Ceefax/Teletext, it just can't handle the characters required, the resolution is simply not good enough. Have a look at 'simplified' Chinese, Thai, Laos or Vietnamese. It simply can't cope. It was devoloped for Europeans, by Europeans with no consideration for others in the world. A good system, but there is no reason why today it couldn't encompass the above, plus Japanese, Khmer or many others.
It's only in countries like Singapore, Hong Kong or within Kuala Lumpur where a reasonable percentage of the population that can read English that CeeFax/Teletext is present.

I'm not getting on my soap-box here, but it continues to depress me that the non-European languages are not considered. As someone whose first language is
not English it does tend to piss one off. (Stepping down from soap-box)
It's OK, I feel better now....
