SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore and Malaysia have a close but inherently complex relationship. And while the two neighbours have not always agreed on every issue, they have made good progress because leaders on both sides have generally been able to keep the big picture in mind, said Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong on July 21.
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.
