KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- It wasn't coarse language that got President Rodrigo Duterte attention this time; it was his crooning.
He and Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak performed karaoke at a state dinner in Malaysia on Thursday.
Duterte sang Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings" while Najib performed an upbeat version of "The Young Ones" by Cliff Richards.
Presidential Peace Adviser Secretary Jesus Dureza in his Facebook account posted a video of the president singing 'Wind Beneath my Wings.'
They sang together to the '70s chart topper "Sha-La-La-La-La-La" by Danish rock band The Walkers. Najib danced as he sang.
Dureza captioned the leaders singing with: "A RARE WORLD SHOW: 2 HEADS OF STATES ON STAGE WITH "BACKUP MINISTERS at Putrajaya Malaysia during state dinner."
Duterte, who's well-known for using foul language, is on a two-day visit to Malaysia.
Najib told reporters that at their talks earlier in the day, the Philippines had agreed with Indonesia and Malaysia to allow security forces to make "hot pursuits" in its territorial waters. The neighbors are seeking to combat ransom kidnappings at sea. (AP)
