KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 6 — Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad today described the relationship between Malaysia and Singapore like twins.

“Malaysia and Singapore are like twins, except maybe the elder twin is a little bit bigger than the younger one.

“As with most countries, there will be differences and there will be competition between us. However, it will help us grow even faster,” he posted in his Facebook, today.

Dr Mahathir also thanked his Singapore counterpart Lee Hsien Loong for receiving him at the Asean Summit last month.
