SEPANG — Singapore President Tharman Shanmugaratnam departed Malaysia today after concluding a three-day state visit to the country.

Tharman, his spouse Jane Ittogi, and delegation departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 on a commercial flight bound for Singapore at 2.20 pm.

Earlier, upon arriving at the Bunga Raya Complex, KLIA, at 1.45 pm, the President was accorded a static Guard of Honour mounted by two officers and 26 personnel from the First Battalion of the Royal Ranger Regiment, led by Capt Muhammad Hanafi Ja’afar.

Minister of Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development Steven Sim was present to bid farewell to Tharman and his delegation.

Tharman began his visit on Sunday at the invitation of His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia.

The visit reciprocated Sultan Ibrahim’s state visit to Singapore on May 6 and 7, 2024, and reflects the close and longstanding bilateral ties between the two neighbouring countries.
