I wonder what the useless paper’s writer would say to this news. After all, he is the one that said Indians are “noisy people<\/a><\/strong>“. So, would he want to have our capital to be associated with a city full of 8 million noisy people? Perhaps should make him an honorary consul and send him there! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Senior Malaysian officials are floating the idea to twin Chennai and Kuala Lumpur as sister cities to bolster the existing deep-rooted bilateral ties between Malaysia and India.<\/p>\n

Officials in KL are believed to have proposed the idea and are likely to get the Cabinet’s approval to move the plan to twin both the fast-growing cities.<\/p>\n

“It will augur well for both nations because we have very long-standing relations, especially with South India, where many of the Indian population have originated from Tamil Nadu.<\/p>\n

“It will give a different political dimension to our relationship and boost the two-way trade and cultural linkages,” a high-level Malaysian official familiar with the proposal said.<\/p>\n

However, the political arrangement would need the endorsement of India’s External Affairs Ministry in Delhi before the idea could be taken to a different level.<\/p>\n

Chennai city in Tamil Nadu has established sister relationships with five other cities around the globe — Cairo, Egypt, Denver, United States (US), Frankfurt, Germany, San Antonio, US and Volgograd in Russia.<\/p>\n

Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu state, has a population of over eight million while Chennai city itself has about 4.5 million people.<\/p>\n

At least 14 major Indian cities have sister relationships with foreign cities worldwide. – Bernama<\/p>\n
