PETALING JAYA: Newly minted Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong is expected to arrive in Malaysia later on Tuesday (June 11).

This is his first official visit to Malaysia since taking over the post from his predecessor, Lee Hsien Loong.

While Wong's trip is part of a series of introductory visits to Asean countries, his visit to Malaysia comes at a time when both nations are on the brink of establishing the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone and the Forest City Special Financial Zone.

Here's what to know about Wong.
