PUTRAJAYA, May 19 — Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong today arrived at the Perdana Leadership Foundation (PLF) to meet Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and formally congratulate the latter on the GE14 win.
The scheduled meeting will also give a chance for the two Prime Ministers to discuss bilateral ties.

Only official media outlets were allowed coverage of the meeting, while media personnel from various agencies camped outside the foundation from as early as 10am.
Dr Mahathir has said that there were no agenda for the meeting between the two leaders.
Dr Mahathir, however, noted that he was willing to address any topics should Lee bring them up during the meeting.
The Prime Minister has said that his Pakatan Harapan government will review all foreign projects, including the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High Speed Rail (HSR) and East Coast Rail Link (ECRL).
About 30 minutes later, Lee was seen leaving PLF. It is unsure if other Singaporean officials such as the foreign minister attended the courtesy call.
Lee was seen shaking hands with Dr Mahathir before leaving the building at 11.30am.
