Reveal PM Lee’s terms, ‘worried’ Azmin urges Najib
(Free Malaysia Today) – The government has been urged to disclose to Parliament the details of Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s “specific proposal” on the land swap deal before the two nations ink an agreement.
Responding to Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak’s statement that Malaysia will conclude its deal with Singapore by September, PKR vice-president Azmin Ali said it was odd that Singapore agreed with Malaysia on several contentious issues if they (Singapore) were not getting what they want.
“We are concerned as to how an issue which has been dragging on for so long, could be suddenly resolved within three months. It is very worrying,” he added.
It was reported that Najib and Lee had a 45-minute meeting here and agreed to conclude a deal over Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd’s land in Singapore within three months.
Najib said Lee had “come up with a specific proposal on the land swap offer” and Malaysia will be looking “into it in great detail”.
Najib, however, did not reveal the content of the proposal.
