Mr Nathan said in his letter dated Jan 20 that Mr Obama's inauguration comes at a time when the US and the rest of the world face many challenges. Many countries, he said, will be looking to the US for leadership in addressing the global economic situation, as well as security and environmental challenges.
Relations between the US and Singapore have been long standing, close, multi-faceted and versatile, he said, noting that the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement and the Strategic Framework Agreement are the centre-pieces of relations between the two countries in recent times. 'With your support, I look forward to further broaden and deepen our relations under your Administration,' said Mr Nathan. 'I look forward to welcoming you to Singapore in November 2009 for the Apec Summit.'
Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong last year received an estimated S$3.76 million, about five times the annual salary of outgoing U.S. President George W Bush... the annual salary of the President is S$3.14m and the Prime Minister S$3.04m.
