PM Lee enjoys mud bath spa at S’pore-M’sia retreat

Joint Communiqué—The Government of the Republic of Singapore and the Government of the Federal Republic of Malaysia, feeling completely refreshed and rejuvenated after our first ever retreat at the Langkawi Four Seasons Resort from the 14th to 16th May, 2007, jointly declare:

1. That the two sides totally enjoyed our time together at the expense of each side’s respective taxpayers
2. That the great success of this first prime ministerial retreat shall call for many more retreats in the future, perhaps once a month
3. That there shall be no agenda, no bilateral issues, and no negotiations during such retreats
4. That the two sides shall be left alone, away from the media spotlight and scrutiny, to explore the resort, play golf, and indulge in humanly pleasures
5. That aromatherapy elixir massage, lavender infusion manicure and pedicure, DNA molecular regenerator facial, and mud bath spa treatment (with gold-flake sprinkles) shall be made available to all retreat participants, regardless of gender, age, rank, or nationality.
6. That next time, more ministers, close relatives and friends will be allowed to accompany each PM to further strengthen bilateral relations
