Background: SINGAPORE'S PRIME MINISTER, MR. LEE KUAN YEW, SPENT A FEW HOURS IN KUCHING, THE SARAWAK CAPITAL, ON HIS WAY TO JESSELTON, NORTH BORNEO, TO DISCUSS PLANS FOR CELEBRATING THE BIRTH OF MALAYSIA ON AUGUST 31 WITH LEADERS OF THESE TERRITORIES - EVEN IF THE UNITED NATIONS MALAYSIA FACT-FINDING TEAM IS NOT READY BY THAT DATE.
