Malaysia summons Singapore envoy over spying claims

Wisma Putra has summoned a senior Singaporean diplomat over allegations that the city-state helped the US and Australia tap telecommunications links in Asia for espionage purposes.

Singapore’s government has not publicly responded to the allegations, which were published on Monday in Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald and cite documents from National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden.

Foreign minister, Datuk Seri Anifah Aman, said in a statement that his ministry was seeking clarification from Singapore’s high commissioner to Malaysia.
