Number of Singaporean visitors to Malaysia hits record low despite weak ringgit

Arrivals dropped 7% last year.

The weak ringgit was not enough to draw more Singaporeans over the Causeway last year.

Statistics from Tourism Malaysia show that the number of Singaporean tourists who visited the country dropped to 12.39 million in 2015, 7% less than the 13.93 million tourists who visited the country in 2014.

This is also the lowest number of visits from Singapore nationals on record.

The ringgit lost over 20% of its value against the Singapore dollar in 2015, dragged by Malaysia's escalating economic woes.
