The Prime Minister also referred to the “great expectations” from his government which completes 18 months next week. Modi, scheduled to land in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday morning, will first attend the 13th Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations)-India Summit and then the 10th East Asia Summit on Sunday. Modi may also carry discussions with leading command of Malaysia, including his counterpart Razak, on strategies to ramp up bilateral assistance in a selection of areas including protection and safety and take the proper connections to your new level.
Various other events hosted by the Malaysian Government will provide a good opportunity for businessmen from India and Malaysia to consider the many investment opportunities in the two countries, Kishu said. “Unfortunately we have got a President who is not convinced of that in this country”, Republican Senator Mitch McConnell said in his remarks during the launch of Republican Hindu Coalition.
Yet, it would be fair to say that Britain invested far more in the Modi visit than did India. Modi will be visiting Malaysia and Singapore from November 21 to 24.
Modi told them that if your watch is set to British time you can turn it upside and find out what the time is in India.
Singapore, on the other hand, is also pushing other members of the ASEAN, such as Indonesia, Cambodia and the Philippines, to expedite the ratification process of the India-ASEAN services trade pact.
Modi added that his programme includes a visit to the Ramakrishna Mission where he will inaugurate a statue of Swami Vivekananda in Petaling Jaya and conclude his trip with a visit to the Subramaniyar Temple in Batu Caves.
Interacting with the Officer Trainees, the Prime Minister said that their uniform was a symbol of power, and they should ensure that this “power” is used to “empower” the common man.
“Singapore’s success is indeed noteworthy”.
“Their achievements in urban development, urban transport, waste management, development of ports and skill development are well known”.
“Indeed, effective supervision and better use of technology can reduce capital requirements”, Modi said, adding that cyber security is important for the protection of the banking infrastructure.

“A meeting with prominent investors will focus on the investment opportunities in India”, he said. He will also pay homage at the INA Memorial Marker at Esplanade Park. But the economy has recovered since, with the Indian central bank projecting 7.8 per cent growth in 2015-16, a jump from 7.3 per cent at the moment, according to its latest monetary policy statement.
