Singapore President Tony Tan Keng Yam said Wednesday Singapore-Malaysia ties are flourishing, underpinned by the deep ties of friendship between the peoples and a shared commitment to work together for the mutual benefit of the countries.
"Singapore and Malaysia enjoy an excellent relationship and have good cooperation across all sectors," said Tan in his congratulatory letter to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Muhammad V, in conjunction with Malaysia's National Day 2017 tomorrow (Thursday). A copy of the letter was made available to Bernama here.
Tan noted that the close ties between the two countries will be further enhanced with upcoming bilateral projects such as the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail and Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System Link.
He said he looked forward to the two countries continuing to strengthen this valued partnership for the future.
Tan said that over the past six decades, Malaysia has achieved significant progress and development.
"I am confident that under Your Majesty's wise counsel and vision, Malaysia will continue to enjoy peace, prosperity and harmony," he said.
"On behalf of the people of Singapore, it is my pleasure to convey our heartfelt congratulations to Your Majesty on the milestone occasion of Malaysia's 60th Merdeka Day.
"My wife and I wish Your Majesty continued good health and happiness," said Tan, who will be on his last day in office tomorrow after six years as the president.
