Jakarta confirmed receiving a formal response from Singapore regarding Lee Kuan Yew's controversial remarks on the marginalisation of Chinese ethnic minorities in Indonesia and Malaysia.

In the case of Jakarta, only a note of protest was given to Singapore through the latter's embassy in Jakarta. There was no official letter written by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono compared to the action taken by the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Because there was no official letter written to Lee Kuan Yew, there was no letter in reply from him.

Which is probably for the better...who knows what Annexures might come along this time :)
