SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore and Malaysia have a close but inherently complex relationship.

In a speech to the Kuala Lumpur Business Club, SM Lee said this complexity is why leaders and governments of both countries have to take a strategic perspective and manage issues sensitively, from the point of view of the overall relationship.
