SEPANG, May 31 — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi left for Singapore this afternoon after calling on Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in Putrajaya during a brief stopover in Malaysia.

The special aircraft, Flight AI 001, carrying Modi took off at about 2pm from the KL International Airport (KLIA) here.

At the Bunga Raya Complex at KLIA, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail and her husband Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim called on Modi before the Indian prime minister left for Singapore.

After the meeting of about 30 minutes, Modi, Dr Wan Azizah and Anwar posed for a group photograph with several staff of the Indian High Commission in Malaysia.

Wan Azizah and Anwar accompanied Modi at a static guard-of-honour comprising 26 personnel from the First Battalion of the Royal Rangers Regiment led by Capt Abdul Munir Mohani alias Che Umar before Modi boarded the flight for Singapore. — Bernama
