SINGAPORE - The Chief of Army of the Malaysian Armed Forces, General (GEN) Datuk Raja Mohamed Affandi bin Raja Mohamed Noor, called on Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen at the Ministry of Defence on Tuesday. 

This is his 1st visit to Singapore and he will be in town from October 21-22.

GEN Raja Affandi also called on Chief of Army Major-General Ravinder Singh after inspecting a Guard of Honour. Both sides reaffirmed the warm and professional cooperation between the two armies.
