PUTRAJAYA: Singaporean teachers may be sent to teach English and other subjects in Malaysia.

At a press conference, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said he discussed the matter with his Singaporean counterpart Lawrence Wong in a bilateral meeting today (June 12).

Presently, Johor and Singapore are already working on a joint education project with a new curriculum which also involves the exchange of programs and teacher training.

"We did discuss the possibility of Singapore considering my humble solution to send teachers to teach English and other subjects to many regions in this country," he said.

Earlier Anwar met Wong to discuss ways to further strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries.

 

This is Wong's inaugural visit to Malaysia after being sworn in as the prime minister on May 15.
