During his visit, Mr Lee met senior leaders from Pahang and Terengganu. He had an audience with Pahang Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah, and met Pahang chief minister Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail and Terengganu chief minister Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar, along with other state leaders.
Turning to his takeaways from the Terengganu leg, Mr Lee said both sides identified several areas for potential collaboration.
These include coastal protection, with Singapore developing measures against rising sea levels and Terengganu facing seasonal coastal erosion during the monsoon, as well as environmental impact assessments for renewable energy projects such as floating solar farms.
He said tourism is another area of interest, noting that Singaporeans already visit Terengganu’s offshore islands, such as Redang and Perhentian, and that there could be opportunities to further develop and promote other destinations in the state.
