SINGAPORE (Bernama): Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong (pic) said Monday (Dec 31) the republic will deal with all new and outstanding matters with Malaysia "calmly and constructively". Lee said Singapore and Malaysia must manage specific problems, however difficult, while preserving the overall relationship. Lee said older Singaporeans will remember that "this is how we dealt with previous rough patches in bilateral relations”. "Each time we would unite as one people, and stand our ground calmly but firmly," he said. Lee said, “Malaysia also wants to revise the price of Johor water, an old issue recently revived, on which Singapore's stand is quite clear”.
