the new Prime Minister of Malaysia. According to a press release from CNA on Sunday, March 1, 2020, according to a Facebook post, Lee said he had just called Muhyiddin to show his appreciation. He became Malaysia's new prime minister. Lee also recalled the opportunity he first met Muhyiddin in 1985 when he accompanied Tony Tan, then Singapore's Minister of Commerce, to an ASEAN meeting in Kuala Lumpur. At the time, Muhyiddin, who is Malaysia's deputy commerce minister, was waiting to greet them at the airport. The strong Singapore-Malaysia relationship will continue to flourish under Muhyiddin's leadership and benefit both peoples and nations of both countries. Last but not least, Leen said he also took the opportunity to invite Muhyiddin to visit Singapore soon, saying that Muhyiddin Yassin was sworn in as the eighth Prime Minister of Malaysia on Sunday. This follows the uncertainty of the political situation that followed Mahathir Mohamad's sudden resignation.
