Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing members of the Indian community in Kuala Lumpur today along with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, said that India's UPI will soon come to Malaysia. Along with this, PM Modi talked about opening new consulates.
PM Modi said that Malaysia has the second largest Indian origin community in the world. There are many things that connect the Indian and Malaysian hearts.
He said that you are the living bridge that connects us. You have linked Roti Canai with Malabar Parotta. Coconut, spices… the flavors seem very familiar, be it Kuala Lumpur or Kochi. We understand each other well.
Grateful for the warmth of the Indian diaspora in Kuala Lumpur. Our diaspora continues to serve as a strong bridge between India and Malaysia. Addressing a community programme.

He said this would happen because there are a lot of common words between your languages and Malay. I have heard that Indian music and films are popular in Malaysia. You all know that PM Anwar Ibrahim sings very well, but many Indians at home did not know this. On his last visit, he was very happy. The video of one of his old Hindi songs went viral in India. It is also a good thing that he likes the Tamil songs of the legendary MGR very much.
