Dear Prime Minister Najib,
Congratulations on leading the Barisan Nasional to a well-deserved victory in the 13th General Election, as well as on your win in Pekan! The Barisan Nasional’s convincing win reflects your people’s confidence in your leadership and the value they placed on continuity and stability.
This was a particularly hard-fought general election, but you ran a strong campaign that focused on your people’s concerns and persuaded them of your vision for Malaysia.
I wish you all the best in your next term of Government. I look forward to continue working with you to deepen our bilateral cooperation. As we discussed at our Leaders’ Retreat in February, our countries have large and growing stakes in each other’s success. Let us strengthen our close partnership for the benefit of both our peoples.
Ho Ching joins me in congratulating you and in wishing you and Datin Sri Rosmah continued good health and success. We hope to see you again before too long.
Lee Hsien Loong
Prime Minister of Singapore
