Singapore

The Chief Executive paid a visit to Malaysia and Singapore in early
September when he met Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dr Mahathir bin
Mohamad, and Deputy Prime Minister, Mr Anwar Ibrahim, in Kuala
Lumpur, and the Prime Minister of Singapore, Mr Goh Chok Tong, and
Deputy Prime Minister, Dr Tony Tan.

Mr Tung and Mr Goh exchanged views on housing, education and
information technology issues, and visited a school and flats built by the
Housing Development Board. The Secretary for Housing, Mr Dominic
Wong, joined the visiting group to look at housing developments. In both
Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, Mr Tung addressed leading businessmen
and professionals on Hong Kong after the transition.

Other activities organised during the year included a one-day seminar held
in Bangkok in June to explain to the Thai audience Hong Kong's
post-handover arrangements, and another seminar in Manila in November
to update the Philippines business community about Hong Kong.
