This was because Mr Lee's relationship with Malaysia was "coloured with bitterness" over Singapore's expulsion from the federation in 1965, Dr Mahathir said.

"We had 20 problems to resolve and I spent 22 years (as prime minister) trying to resolve them, but I could resolve none. He will not give even an inch; kiasu, you know," Dr Mahathir, who served as Malaysia's Prime Minister from 1981 to 2003, reportedly said to students at a dialogue in Cyberjaya on Saturday.

Asked why Malaysia was not as well-developed as Singapore, of which Mr Lee served as the founding prime minister, Dr Mahathir replied that the smaller country had fewer problems to deal with.

"They don't have to build many roads. They don't have racial problems. We have racial problems. And they can forget about the minorities and do what they like," Dr Mahathir said, according to news portal Malaysian Insider.

"We can't do that here, we have to think about minorities, think about the rights of people..." he added. "So there is a certain give and take that we have to do here which you don't have to do in Singapore. So I would like to say that he (Lee) had a much easier time than I had."

Dr Mahathir also denied being an authoritarian leader, as he had relinquished power. Mr Lee, he added, was different.

"Which authoritarian ruler resigns? Can you tell me?" he asked.

"Lee Kuan Yew resigned as prime minister but he was still in the government as senior minister and minister mentor. I left completely and I don't want to come back," he reportedly said.

The dialogue was organised as part of a global leadership series for youth.

Last month, Dr Mahathir had expressed sadness over the passing of Singapore's founding father, although he said he was not a close friend of the late leader.

The former Malaysian leader also said he "crossed swords" many times with Mr Lee after Singapore joined Malaysia in 1963, but "there was no enmity".

But LHL has some info on mongolian altantunya and one of the first thing najib did when he became PM was to surrender KTM (keretapi tanah melayu) with non of the concession malaysian were seeking in return, like a bridge to replace the causeway. Or maybe najib stashed some of his loot in singapore.

the old horse and the old man had always been in bitter rivalry of words for past 50 years...
guess the old horse had the final say... so he's 1 up on the old tree...

however, despite of the many innocent lives and families the old tree had destroyed,
he manage to build spore to what is today; for this many of us are extremely gratefully to him

the old horse on the other hand had his country with his divide-and-rule politics
and leave its people deeply divided...; he may have had the final say, but not the final laugh
