Malaysia will abide by its agreements with Singapore, asserted Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, despite the Mahathir administration calling into question these accords mere days after taking power.

Mr Lim, who is secretary-general of the ruling Pakatan Harapan coalition partner Democratic Action Party, said "we will keep to our end of the bargain" while insisting that the water supply deal with the Republic is "lopsided".
