Who’s who? RTM says sorry after confusing 3 Asean leaders with predecessors

Malaysian broadcaster Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) has apologised for getting the names of three Southeast Asian leaders wrong during a live broadcast of the opening ceremony of the 47th Asean Summit.

In statements issued in Malay on social media, the broadcaster apologised for the mistakes.

RTM said in its statement that a broadcast commentator had misidentified Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong as his predecessor, Lee Hsien Loong.
