The Malaysian media have noticed how much time Lee is spending with the opposition, while the Singaporean media are playing this down.  Note the hint that the schedule is pretty punishing for an 85-year-old after all.  Malaysia Insider:

Lee exhausted himself yesterday trying to find an answer to that most pressing question: just who is his People’s Action Party (PAP) going to be dealing with in four years?

Yesterday he had at least six different meetings after lunch. He met with Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin, delegates from the Kuala Lumpur Business Club, former Prime Minister Tun Abdullah Badawi, Dr Mahathir’s son Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir who is now a deputy minister, and Selangor Mentri Besar Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim and quizzed each one for clues as to how the next Malaysian general election would pan out.

So spent was Lee that the 45-minute meeting with Khalid and two of his executive councillors was cut short and reporters in Ipoh — his next stop — were told to stay out of sight when Lee flew in just short of midnight.

On Wednesday, he had talks with PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang about his party’s foreign policy which showed that he took the possibility of Pakatan Rakyat (PR) forming the federal government seriously.

At this point, the sole reason may be the advances that PR made in last year’s general election. But he was gently warned not to underestimate the desire for change and the influence of new media that has shaken the political landscape all over the world.

Sources say that Lee was focused on young and urban voters, especially the Malays among them.
