When people — even Malaysians — ask why I am so interested in the country, I always answer, “How can I not be? Malaysia is very important.”

Firstly, as a Singaporean, what happens in our truly giant northern neighbour (Malaysia is almost 500 times the size of Singapore) impacts Singapore.

Malaysia is Singapore’s second largest trading partner; a significant portion of our food and even water supply come from across the causeway.

Our physical environments are connected; pollution and fires in southern Malaysia immediately impact us. Of course nearly a million Malaysian citizens live and work in Singapore and hundreds of thousands of Singaporeans have Malaysian roots and family.

Historically and culturally, our nations are intimately entwined. We have, of course, been part of the same country in the past. Fundamentally I believe to fully understand Singapore’s politics you need to have some awareness of what’s going on in Malaysia.

But actually beyond a Singaporean perspective, I think Malaysia is significant.
