Malaysia’s Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad, vowed to strengthen ties with the nation’s “twin” as he officially called for a review of water sold to the republic at the 33rd ASEAN summit in Singapore.
In the veteran leader’s first official visit to Singapore since he returned to power in May, Mahathir said he would work more closely with his Singaporean counterpart, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, to solve “controversial” issues such as the 1962 Water Agreement.
