Inche Mohd. Ali Bin Alwi asked the Prime Minister whether he will make a statement on his recent visit to Indonesia.

The Prime Minister: Mr Speaker, Sir, there is little I can add to the statement signed by the First Minister of the Republic of Indonesia and myself, and to the Press conferences in Jakarta and Singapore.

I would like to repeat, however, that we received the utmost courtesy and hospitality during our stay in Indonesia, and look forward to the strengthening of trade and cultural relations in the months ahead.

Inche Mohd. Ali Bin Alwi: Mr Speaker, Sir, I would like to know how many of our local experts went to Indonesia together with the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister: I was not equipped with any local experts, to my knowledge.
