SINGAPORE: Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in Putrajaya next month at a leaders’ retreat, according to The Straits Times.
Quoting Lee, the news report said it would take place about 10 days after Dr Mahathir visited Singapore for the Asean Summit which would take place over a period of five days from Nov 11.
Lee also reportedly said that Singapore’s relations with Malaysia were stable.
“The High-Speed Rail (HSR) was an issue, potentially, but we worked out a two-year deferment for the HSR project and that was a constructive resolution of what could have been a spiky dispute,” Lee was quoted as saying.
“I hope that at the retreat, we will be able to look ahead, to discuss win-win opportunities in order to deepen our cooperation and friendship.”
Lee was in Putrajaya on May 19, meeting with Dr Mahathir for the first time since the latter was sworn in as Malaysia’s seventh Prime Minister on May 10. –Bernama
