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.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
