Channel NewsAsia reports that Singapore and Malaysia have agreed (with no real timeline) to cooperate more in fighting piracy and terrorism in the Straits of Malacca.
[Singapore's deputy prime minister] Dr Tan said: “The field of security and defence keeps on changing, we face new threats, fighting against radical terrorism where cooperation between Singapore and Malaysia indeed helped in curbing the threat of radical terrorism.”

(In any other country, this would be called a flip flop!)
No word on cooperating to solve outstanding issues that are the cause for much Malaysia- and Singapore-bashing in their respective media. Apparently they’re confident “to resolve outstanding bilateral issues in a fair and amicable manner”.
What, after all these years, they’ve finally seen the light?
