Speaking to the 14th episode of his testimony on the afternoon, the veteran politician explained that this incident occurred when he was Prime Minister of Malaysia and visited Singapore, so Lee Kuan left him 15 minutes in the waiting room, before he came to meet him, in contrast to the protocol followed when receiving the dignitaries of other countries .
Mahathir Mohamad emphasized that he felt at that moment that the insult was not directed only at his person, but also the Malaysian state in which he is the head of government, so he decided to take revenge on him from the Singaporean Prime Minister at the earliest opportunity.
Predictions seemed to work for Mahathir Muhammad. After a period of time, the Prime Minister of Singapore Lee Kuan came to an official increase for Malaysia, so his Malaysian counterpart only left him waiting in a side room for 15 minutes, before he was allowed to meet him, even though everyone knows Mahathir Muhammad usually receives his guests at the door and never lets them wait.
The man - who headed the government of Malaysia for 22 years - spoke at length about the most prominent differences between Singapore and Malaysia, and how the first was a piece of Malaysia, before Britain bought it for 60,000 dollars, and she stayed there for many years, but Malaysia refused to return the Singaporean land to it after leaving The British from it, because the Malaysians discovered that the Singaporeans became completely different from the demographics of Malaysia and all the countries of the region.
After Singapore began to develop and grow and used the Israeli army to train its military forces, many problems began to emerge between it and the great neighbor Malaysia, the most prominent of which were the problems of water sales agreements that were considered unfair agreements for Malaysia, as well as the rail problem, as well as the rights of Malaysian workers working in Singapore.
But Malaysia, under the management of Mahathir Muhammad, sought to develop and improve its global position, just as it was in Singapore. .
