SINGAPORE: With the buzz around the falling value of the Malaysian ringgit last year, one would have expected more trips there by Singaporeans. The numbers, however, show otherwise.

According to official figures from the Malaysia Tourism Promotion Board in Singapore released to The Straits Times, Malaysia recorded 12,930,754 tourist arrivals from Singapore last year, a 7 per cent drop from 13,932,967 in 2014.
