NEW TRACT IN S’PORE-KL TIES ‘BRINGING BOTH SIDES CLOSER’
The Straits Times, May 10, 2007
This new track allows closers economic, social and other ties to be forged even as outstanding issued are addressed, and underpinning it all is the close personal relationship between the two countries’ prime minister. A possible topic of discussion is the investment opportunity for Singaporeans in Malaysia following the launch of ambitious plans to transform south Johor into an economic power house by leveraging on its proximity to Singapore. If the personal relationship is so superb and everyone acknowledges that, then they have to translate this into some concrete advantages.
