Hubungan perdagangan antara kedua-dua negara sangat akrab dan menguntungkan kedua-dua pihak. Dari segi kerjasama dalam isu keselamatan didapati agensi polis dan pasukan keselamatan telah menjalin hubungan yang sangat baik dalam menghadapi ancaman keselamatan samaada dari dalam negeri atau pun dari luar sempadan kedua-dua buah negara. Walau bagaimanapun dalam isu Point of Agreement (POA) yang dimeterai secara sulit antara Tun Daim Zainuddin (Malaysia) dengan Lee Kuan Yew (Singapura) pada 27 Nov 1990 yang telah tertangguh selama 20 tahun untuk dilaksanakan seolah-olah menidakkan kemesraan hubungan dua hala ini dan menjadi...

On the part of Singapore, such was a welcomed move as Singapore lacks the depth, mass and resources deemed necessary for development and survival. On the part of Malaysia, however, it started-off as a half-hearted decision, with Tunku Abdul Rahman fearing that the Chinese population in Singapore would, after the merger, upset the Malay majority in Malaya. In May 1960, he told Malayan students in London that “(The) Chinese-educated and new immigrants will always be loyal to China and they are less Malay-minded,” and that the inclusion of the 1.3 million Chinese would confuse Malayans and ruin the calm atmosphere of the Federation[3]...

...Why Singapore separated From Malaya In 1965? On August 7, 1965, Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman, seeing no alternative to avoid further bloodshed, advised the Parliament of Malaysia that it should vote to expel Singapore from Malaysia. Despite last-ditch attempts by PAP leaders, including Lee Kuan Yew, to keep Singapore as a state in the union, the Parliament on August 9, 1965 voted 126-0 in favour of the expulsion of Singapore, with members of Parliament from Singapore not present. On that day, a tearful Lee Kuan Yew announced that Singapore was a sovereign, independent nation and assumed the role of prime minister of the new nation. His speech included this quote: "For me, it is a moment of anguish. All my life, my whole adult life, I have believed in merger and unity of the two territories. Hence, Singapore became the only country in the history of the modern world to gain independence against its own will. Under constitutional amendments passed in December of that year, the new state became the Republic of Singapore, with the Yang Di- Pertuan Negara becoming President, and the Legislative Assembly becoming the Parliament of Singapore. These changes were made retroactive to the date of Singapore's separation from Malaysia. The Malaya and British Borneo Dollar remained legal tender until the introduction of the Singapore dollar in 1967. Before the currency split, there was a discussion about a common currency between the Malaysian and Singaporean Governments. A union...
