PETALING JAYA: The sudden spate of remarks from Malaysia questioning the high-speed rail, stock trading link and water agreements lie in Malaysia's domestic problems and Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's own history with Singapore, says a Straits Times opinion piece.

The opinion piece by Nanyang Technological University S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies deputy Head of Policy Studies Adrian Tan Tai Loon and its Malaysia Programme Senior Analyst David Han listed out Malaysia's domestic concerns as one in which the Pakatan Harapan Government was trying to resolve the nation's debt, and implement institutional reforms.
