He shared that Mr Anwar was the first foreign leader who called him the morning after he was sworn in to congratulate him."PM Anwar had a very good relationship with then-PM Lee Hsien Loong - now Senior Minister - and I am building on that and continuing with that relationship at the leadership level."
On Wednesday, Mr Anwar also proposed an idea for Singapore to send its teachers over to teach the English language. "Whatever differences we may have on these issues should not affect or colour how we treat the overall relationship, and certainly should not detract from the possibilities of pursuing new areas of cooperation," said Mr Wong.
