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.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
