PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has been jokingly told to “lepak (chill) a bit” by a Singaporean politician following the strengthening of the ringgit against the Singapore dollar.
In a recent social media post, People’s Power Party (PPP) chairman Derrick Sim included an image of the exchange rate that saw the ringgit improving from RM3.18 to RM3.15 to one Singapore dollar within two weeks.
“Dear PM Anwar, IMO (in my opinion), you’re genuinely one of the Best Prime Ministers Malaysia has seen in a long, long time.
“I only have one small, very small request: maybe you lepak a bit. No need to work so hard lah,” he said on Facebook.
“Just two weeks ago, SGD to Ringgit was 3.18, now it is already 3.15. If too strong, later Singaporeans come in – only order roti canai kosong and go back liao.
“Many of us are still very budget-conscious. Take it easy, PM. Slow and steady wins the race,” he added.
