Johor Polls: No Plans to Contact S'pore PM Over Malaysian Voters Working Across Causeway, Says Anwar The Johor state elections are just around the corner, with Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim facing questions about voting arrangements for citizens who work in Singapore.
The issue reflects a broader tension between Malaysia's desire to maintain sovereignty over its electoral process and its need to balance relationships with neighboring countries.
Anwar's statement that he will not contact his Singaporean counterpart regarding election arrangements is a diplomatic nod to the sensitivity of this issue.
