High Commissioner to Singapore vacant for six months? Quite normal, says Foreign Minister


KUALA LUMPUR: It is "quite normal" for foreign dignitary positions to be left vacant for a while as Wisma Putra has to ensure that the host country completes its vetting process before anyone is appointed, says Datuk Seri Hishamuddin Hussein.

The Foreign Minister said that this time also allows for Wisma Putra to complete the necessary due process, and added that having no Malaysian high commissioner in Singapore has not affected the bilateral relationship between the two countries.
