KLUANG: The Covid-19 pandemic has made it difficult for Wisma Putra to send Malaysian ambassadors for their overseas attachment, even in Singapore, which has seen the High Commissioner position vacant for a year now, says Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.
KLUANG (April 12): The reopening of the Malaysia-Singapore border is expected to be on the list of items to be discussed between Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and his Singaporean counterpart Lee Hsien Loong in the republic early next month.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said he would ensure that the matter was addressed at the meeting. During the visit, I will make sure that that it (border reopening) is part of the agenda of discussions between our Prime Minister and Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, he told reporters after attending the Malaysia Prihatin programme for the Sembrong Parliamentary constituency in Paloh here today.
KLUANG: The Covid-19 pandemic is making it difficult for Wisma Putra to send a representative to fill the High Commissioner position in Singapore, which has been vacant for a year now.
Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said the appointment of the Malaysian high commissioner to Singapore was still under process. There are still some technical issues that Wisma Putra must see to first, he said after officiating the Malaysia Prihatin Parliament Sembrong programme in Paloh here on Monday (April 12). I am not denying that the Covid-19 pandemic has made it difficult for us to place representatives of our embassies in several countries, he added.
