KUALA LUMPUR: Singapore is not merely one of Malaysia’s closest neighbours but also a highly valued partner and among the country’s key drivers of trade and investment, says His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia.
In a Facebook post on Monday (July 13), His Majesty said the continued growth in bilateral trade despite global economic uncertainties reflected the strength of ties between Malaysia and Singapore.
“The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) also reflects our cooperation in advancing regional economic growth and creating new opportunities within Asean,” he said during the state welcoming ceremony for Singaporean President Tharman Shanmugaratnam’s first state visit to Malaysia since assuming office in September 2023.
His Majesty also expressed confidence that the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link (RTS Link), scheduled to commence operations at the end of 2026, would further strengthen connectivity between the two countries.
