KUALA LUMPUR/SINGAPORE, March 21 (The Straits Times/ANN): There is much scope for Singapore and Malaysia to expand their cooperation for mutual benefit, said President Halimah Yacob at the Istana Negara on Tuesday during a state visit to Malaysia.

In the 58 years since diplomatic relations were established between the two countries, bilateral ties have grown from strength to strength, noted Madam Halimah, as she delivered a toast at a banquet in her honour held by Malaysia’s King, Sultan Abdullah Ahmad Shah, and his wife, Tunku Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah.
