JOHOR BARU: Johor state government has congratulated Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on his government’s victory in its general election.
Johor Mentri Besar Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi said the victory reflected the people’s confidence in strong and visionary leadership, especially in navigating global economic uncertainty.
"Johor deeply values its close bilateral ties with Singapore, particularly through the implementation of the Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone, which will further strengthen strategic cooperation between our regions.
"I am confident that Johor-Singapore relations will continue to grow in a progressive and inclusive manner for the well-being of people on both sides of the Causeway," said Onn Hafiz in a Facebook post on Sunday (May 4).
He also hoped that the close ties between Johor and Singapore remain strong and be blessed with continued success.
Singapore went to the polls on Saturday (May 3), where the PAP returned to power with 65.57% of the popular vote, a commanding swing from its 61.24% in the last general election in 2020.
Votes endorsed the ruling party, which secured 87 of 97 seats.
It was also Wong’s first electoral contest as head of government and leader of the PAP.
