KUALA LUMPUR – Relations between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur are being put to the test as Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad revisits a delicate territorial issue.

Back in 2008, the Malaysian government concluded the signing of a US-Malaysia FTA with 58 redlines or “red-stops”, which discontinued the two-year negotiation.

Among leading protagonists was then Agriculture minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who mentioned that he would not compromise the livelihood of local farmers. He was even quoted as saying ‘over my dead body’ by some quarters.
