Called Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri Yaakob today to congratulate him on becoming Malaysia’s 9th Prime Minister.
Malaysia and Singapore enjoy deep, warm, and multi-faceted relations. We have many common interests, and our peoples have familial ties across the border. Over the years, we have often worked closely on shared challenges, including in this pandemic. Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri co-chaired the Singapore-Malaysia Special Working Committee on COVID-19 with SM Teo Chee Hean, to oversee the continued movement of people and goods across our borders.
With Dato’ Sri Ismail Sabri’s wealth of experience in public service and government, I am confident that our bilateral relationship will continue to flourish.
I invited PM Ismail Sabri to visit Singapore soon. I look forward to meeting him to discuss how we can partner each other to take our friendship further, and expand our cooperation. – LHL
