MALAYSIA will work together with Singapore to further elevate bilateral relations, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said today, in reply to Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s tweet on Anwar’s appointment.

“Thank you PM @leehsienloong for the telephone call and warm wishes. As close neighbours and partners in Asean, Malaysia and Singapore also share many commonalities, intertwined history and very close and active people-to-people connections.

“I look forward to meeting you at the earliest opportunity and working together to further elevate Malaysia-Singapore bilateral relations,” Anwar tweeted.

Lee in his tweet earlier congratulated Anwar and expressed his interest to work together as well as the new Malaysian government to further strengthen bilateral ties.

Anwar, 75, took the oath of office as Malaysia’s 10th prime minister before Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah at Istana Negara yesterday. – Bernama, November 25, 2022.
