The Yang di-Pertuan Agong granted an audience to Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and four members of his cabinet today in conjunction with His Majesty’s state visit to the republic.
Also present at the audience held at Shangri-La Hotel were Raja Permaisuri Agong Tunku Hajah Azizah Aminah Maimunah Iskandariah and Lee’s wife Ho Ching.
The Singapore ministers present at the audience were Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, Chan Chun Sing (Education), Desmond Lee (National Development) and S Iswaran (Transport).
Their Majesties were accompanied to the ceremony by Malaysian Foreign Ministry secretary-general Amran Mohamed Zin and Transport Ministry secretary-general Isham Ishak.
After the 30-minute audience, the king and queen proceeded to a luncheon hosted by Lee and his wife.
Their Majesties arrived in Singapore yesterday for the state visit, which will end on Friday.
The visit reflects the close bilateral ties between Malaysia and Singapore which were established 57 years ago.
Their Majesties will attend a state welcoming ceremony at the Istana this afternoon, before meeting Singapore President Halimah Yacob and attending a state banquet.
