KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 6 (The Straits Times/ANN): Singapore and Malaysia have to continue working closely together amid a more uncertain global landscape, Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said on Tuesday.

Both countries have a high level of interdependency across many areas, and their relationship is underpinned by close people-to-people and family ties, he noted.
