PUTRAJAYA: Lee Kuan Yew's remarks on Chinese in Malaysia being marginalised is not affecting bilateral ties between the two countries at the moment, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said.
Apart from this issue today, (relations) are still the same. I do not see any other effect at the moment. This is the only problem that we are facing now, Abdullah said when asked about the state of bilateral relations with Singapore following Minister Mentor Lee's remarks at an International forum that Singapore's neighbours had problems with their successful Chinese and systematically marginalised them.
