The next Singapore-Malaysia Leaders’ Retreat has been postponed to a date to be fixed later, according to Singapore’s Foreign Affairs Ministry.

The ministry’s spokesperson said this in a statement today in responding to media queries on the date of the 9th Singapore-Malaysia Leaders’ Retreat.

However, the statement did not specify any reasons for the postponement.

It was reported on Oct 23 that Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong is scheduled to meet Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad in Putrajaya next month for the leaders' retreat.

Quoting Lee, a local newspaper reported that it was to take place about 10 days after Mahathir comes to Singapore for the 33rd Asean Summit for five days from Nov 11.

The 8th edition of the retreat was held in Singapore in January this year.
