3 April 2009
Dear Dato' Seri Najib,
Congratulations on your appointment as Prime Minister of
Malaysia.
You have served Malaysia for many years before becoming
Prime Minister. I am confident that Malaysia will continue to prosper
under your stewardship.
Malaysia-Singapore relations are multi-faceted. Our
countries are connected by history, geography and family ties. We
share common interests in many areas, not least in keeping our
economies and region stable during this global economic crisis. We
have much to gain by working together bilaterally, regionally and
internationally. I look forward to working closely with you to further
enhance our warm relations and mutual cooperation.
Ho Ching and I offer our best wishes to you and Datin Seri
Rosmah. We hope to welcome both of you in Singapore soon for
your introductory visit. I also look forward to meeting you in Pattaya
for the 14th ASEAN Summit and related Summits from 10-12 April
2009.
Yours sincerely

You are taking over the leadership of Malaysia at a most challenging time, both externally and internally. Reading your recent statements on the need for change and your wish to be judged by your actions, I am confident that Malaysia will overcome its challenges under your strong leadership.
Singapore and Malaysia are close neighbours. We should open a new chapter of stronger bilateral relations and work together to build an integrated ASEAN. Singapore stands ready to cooperate with Malaysia to achieve those ends.
