Key events to propel bilateral ties


JOHOR BARU: It was a momentous occasion for relations between Malaysia and Singapore with the linking of the country’s third crossing with the island republic and also the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on the setting up of a special economic zone (SEZ) here.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his Singapore counterpart Lee Hsien Loong were present at both of these historic events, with the first involving the completion of the connecting span for the Rapid Transit System Link (RTS) across the Straits of Johor.
