Najib, Hsien Loong -- friends in a hurry

THE durian may be a thorny fruit, but there is now no real thorny issue in the relationship between Malaysia and Singapore. Perhaps, the durian party held two nights ago on Sentosa Island did enough to keep everyone happy and burping with satisfaction.
Datuk Seri Najib Razak had crossed the causeway into Singapore on Saturday night after a day trip to Johor Baru. On Sunday, Najib and his Singaporean counterpart, BG (R) Lee Hsien Loong, had a private dinner followed by a durian party.

Earlier in the day, Najib and his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, had paid their last respects to former Singapore deputy prime minister Dr Goh Keng Swee, who had died a few days ago. The prime minister's diary for Monday was marked with a one-on-one meeting with Lee to be followed by a delegation meeting involving ministers from both sides.

The long-standing disputes over land and water between our country and Singapore were finally resolved. Thx to the Prime Minister. I like the way he handled the problem.
