In the last few days, ktards were gleeful that there was apparently a difference in diplomatic protocol when Singapore PM LHL and Malaysia PM DSAI arrived at Beijing Airport within hours of each other.    Rumours swirled over why Lee was ushered onto a bus while Anwar was shown to a state car at the airport.

The truth is now out! 

Anwar travelled by private plane, a Malaysian Royal Air Force 737 used for Malaysian diplomats from Hainan to Beijing, and landed at a location where he was met by China's Vice Foreign Minister, Sun Weidong, and ushered into a state car.

Hours later in the evening, Lee travelled by Hainan Airlines (a domestic airline in China) from Hainan to Beijing, and landed in a different location (FOR DOMESTIC AIRLINES) at the airport where he was also met by China's Vice Foreign Minister, Sun Weidong, and boarded a red-carpet lined bus to the VIP lounge, before transferring to a state car. The article noted a red carpet welcome was already accorded to Singapore's Lee days ago in Guangzhou, his first stop in China.

Malaysian diplomats travel by private plane. I wonder how much does the flight/logistics cost? I thought we are in serious debt??
Singaporean diplomats travel via China's domestic airline. I wonder how much the domestic airfare costs?
Which country spent more money? Who is...dare I say, financially prudent?

You still smell even if it's not loud.
