SINGAPORE: Singapore’s important concern for now is the evolving bilateral relationship between the United States and China, although it keeps an eye on development in Malaysia.

“What happens in Malaysia is very important to us…but that is not the main strategic change that is imperative for the plans that we are unfolding right now in Singapore,” said its Minister for Foreign Affairs Dr Vivian Balakrishnan.
